Although it will work fine just as it is (it may be misleading, though).
Lazy evaluation in make is important, it allows such things as having
different CFLAGS that for different source files.

  foo.o: CFLAGS += -fspecial-option

And the additional CFLAGS will only apply to the compilation of foo.
Since the ALL_CFLAGS is expanded lazily, it gets expanded for each target,
and the rule above causes CFLAGS to have extra values only on that target.
