 With `make CARGOFLAGS=<flags>` one can pass additional flags to cargo.
 With `make HAVE_CARGO=0` one can turn of any compilation that requires cargo.

 building tools for a release. The s390-tools expect the environment variable
 `S390_TOOLS_RELEASE` to be present at build time. This is the version string the
 rust tools provide.
