I'm not aware of any, though I haven't really tried. XCFLAGS and
XLDFLAGS (on some platforms anyway) are set in src/cf/osconf.m4; see the
big switch statement for AFS_SYSNAME. You can hard code them there in
your sysname-specific section, or perhaps you/we could add code after
that section that grabs a var from the environment and appends to
XCFLAGS/XLDFLAGS.
