tools/mm: allow users to provide additional cflags/ldflags
Right now there is no way to provide additional cflags/ldflags when building tools/vm binaries. And using eg. make CFLAGS=<options> will override the CFLAGS being set in the Makefile, making the build fail since it requires the include of the ../lib dir (for libapi). This change then allows you to specify: CFLAGS=<options> LDFLAGS=<options> make V=1 -C tools/vm And the options will be correctly appended as can be seen from the make output.
