Another question on content -- the doc says

  Buildroot optionally honors some environment variables that
  are passed to make:
  
    HOSTCXX, the host C++ compiler to use
    HOSTCC, the host C compiler to use
    UCLIBC_CONFIG_FILE [...]

From what I've been able to figure out, honoring those is not
an option.  Aren't they're always honored?  If honoring those
is optional, how/where is that option configured?
