This fragment catched my eye, and it is typical for the patch.
Why do you  need to add DEBUG_FLAGS to the CFLAGS manually ?
Wouldn't share/mk magic do this automatically ?

If not, I think that it should be considered to fix the remaining
cases where DEBUG_FLAGS are not added in the common mk code, instead
of sprinkling the additions all over the place ?

I think that the cleanup you performed is needed.
