DEBUG is in kern.pre.mk, and thus can be overriden. Currently I have  
WITH_CTF handling in kern.post.mk, and thus it can not be overriden.  
There are some MKMODULESENV things in post.mk already.

On a related note, the LD_CTF_FLAGS thing does not seem to work for  
modules. Reading the man page of ld tells that -g is a noop (the  
switch is ignored). Thus I would prefer to remove the setting of -g  
for ld. Any objections?

I agree.

Bye,
Alexander.
