Because rosstack is in the rospack package, and when we're building
rospack itself, we don't have a way to find rosbuild, which is where
the default compile flags are found.  So you'd have to modify
rospack/CMakeLists.txt to use different flags for building rospack
and/or rosstack.

Also, you might have a look at this patch, which does a two-pass build
of rospack, once for host and once for target:
