I hacked around it for my test builds (eg. see my test build at
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/myoung/xentest/build/204111/
) by not setting CFLAGS in the environment, but by instead adding the 
recommended Fedora RPM settings into config/StdGNU.mk via a different 
environment variable.

Another thing you might need to know if you are building xen on Fedora 24 
is that you need to add -fno-tree-coalesce-vars if you are on a gcc-6.0.0 
package (it may be fixed in gcc-6.1.1-2.fc24 which has just come out but I 
haven't tested it yet).
