Don't use CPPFLAGS/PIEFLAGS for host tools

When cross-compiling sudo host compiler != cross compiler.
The host tools (mksigname/mksiglist) are built using CPPFLAGS/PIEFLAGS which are tested against the cross compiler, and since the host compiler can be a wildly different version this may make the build fail.
Example:
http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/b10/b1091bd04ab988744548b74fb48c64bf291fed2f/build-end.log
Since the tools aren't part of sudo runtime we can just remove those compiler flags.

Coffee didn't take yet, it's early here, adjusted patch/comment since it's SSP_CFLAGS/PIE_CFLAGS. Sorry for the noise.

Thanks, that patch will be in sudo 1.8.11.
