buildLinux: take and propagate extraMakeFlags

This is just for practicity, as it allows users of buildLinux to pass
along extra flags they need in the kernel's make invocation. This makes,
for example, supporting LLVM _much_ easier, and could enable us in the
future to provide clang-built kernels.
