refactor(build): Portable bootstrap in makefiles

Avoid "target-specific variable values" (that looks like
"target: variable=value") that works with GNU make only when building
'stage1flex'. A portable alternative is starting a sub-instance of
'make' with overridden variables (CC="$CC_FOR_BUILD" etc.). Make the
bootstrap work even when EXEEXT and BUILD_EXEEXT might differ. The
makefiles are designed that only the main instance of 'make' would
handle the 'stage1bin/flex$(BUILD_EXEEXT)' so that no data contention
can potentially occur.
