Re: What build variables to respect?

[Brad <brad@openbsd.org>]

no, its USE_EGCC to use EGCS (egcc) instead of gcc and USE_EGXX to use
EGCS (eg++) instead of g++, though I think it should be changed to just
USE_EGCS.

without respecting CC or CXX then there is no way for the port to know to
use egcc/eg++ over gcc/g++
