Why not define them for all BSPs and for all applications?

What is special about libbsd that it needs these flags over any other type of
application?

In CFLAGS yes. Pkgconfig files (.pc) support variables and I had always thought
we define a number of RTEMS specific variables and these hold various flags or
commands needed to handle other things, for example the options to mkimage. A
user could then test for a variable and if present know this BSP does or has
extra "what ever".
