Description

Right now when we collect the values for OTHER_CFLAGS, they include values that will be the same for every target, mainly because the toolchain sets them. We should set these common values at the project level and only have per-target overrides on the targets. This will make the spec.json and resulting project file smaller.

Research direction

Start by tracing where OTHER_CFLAGS values are collected and how project-level and target-level build settings are generated. Confirm which toolchain-provided values are common across targets; done means common values are emitted at the project level, target overrides remain, and spec.json and the resulting project file are smaller.
