-This Makefile patch conditionally adds libasound or libportaudio to the build
-flags depending on whether -DPORTAUDIO is included in CFLAGS.

-Description: Makefile tweaks for hardening build options
- This patch changes the Makefile to add options to CFLAGS and LDFLAGS instead of
- overriding the values from the environment, and ensures that CPPFLAGS is also
- used when building C source.
