+Subject: [PATCH] Makefile: move 'EXTRA_CFLAGS += $(USER_EXTRA_CFLAGS)' at the
+ end of EXTRA_FLAGS assignment
+
+At the moment USER_EXTRA_CFLAGS can't override local Makfile EXTRA_CFLAGS
+since it's assigned at the beginning of the Makefile. For example it's not
+possible to undefine the hardcoded CONFIG_LITTLE_ENDIAN and this doesn't
+allow to build these modules for big endian architectures. So let's move
+the assignment of USER_EXTRA_CFLAGS to EXTRA_CFLAGS after the last
+EXTRA_CFLAGS assignment.
