compiler complains about messed up CFLAGS in build log:
<command-line>: warning: "_FORTIFY_SOURCE" redefined
<command-line>: note: this is the location of the previous definition
and then linker fails:

This FTBFS issue was caused by hardening flags set up by dropbear's configure script.
By default, Dropbear offers hardening via CFLAGS and LDFLAGS,
but this may break or confuse OpenWrt settings.
Remove most Dropbear's hardening settings in favour of precise build,
but preserve Spectre v2 mitigations:
* -mfunction-return=thunk
* -mindirect-branch=thunk
