Urg, I accidentally sent to kernel-kbuild instead of linux-kbuild,
changed now. It appears that past changes to
tools/scripts/Makefile.include have been handled by linux-kbuild and
often Masahiro Yamada.

Perhaps the best sequence here is to send a patch to kbuild adding the
call-override function and calls to it to the main common Makefile. Then
I can send individual subsystem patches dropping the individual CC =
lines and similar. It will be 13 patches instead of 1 but will
eventually result in the same thing.

Paul, any thoughts?
