Hi Tom,

Thanks for the hint - this has been fixed now. Starting with hrev47574,
configure supports overriding the name of the host compiler via the CC
environment variable. Additionally, invoking 'configure --help' (or just
'configure') will show the help text without requiring gcc.

Of course it has meaning, just not the one you hoped it would have. With
HAIKU_CC_x86_gcc2 you can override the cross-compiler to be used for building
Haiku for the x86_gcc2 architecture. That won't help in any way with the host
compiler, though.

Passing --build-cross-tools to configure will cause it to build cross tools
(not such a surprising concept, if you think about it).
cheers,
