Build error on ARM device due to ld flags

the kernel makefiles used for building on different architectures can be 
very different. (see kernel sourcdir/arch/arm/Makefile or arch/x86/Makefile)
so some of them might also overwrite existing flags. what makes me 
wonder. according to your build log you're setting various flags before 
entering the wireguard dir and compiling.
why?
