If a build.rs script uses gcc-rs, CC and CFLAGS are used to find the
c compiler and flags. Often, host & target will have different flags
and compilers.
Without this mapping (which allows the use of HOST_CC and HOST_CFLAGS),
it was imposible to specify the compiler and cflags to use for the host
while doing cross builds, and gcc-rs would attempt to use the target
compiler and cflags, typically failing.
We preserve the previous behavoir when the HOST_CC and HOST_CFLAGS
variables are unset, though I'm not sure if this is a good idea unless
host happens to equal target. We may want to restrict the fallback in
the future.
