HOSTCC is always wanted when building. Setting CC to HOSTCC happens
after tools/scripts/Makefile.include is included, meaning flags are
set assuming say CC is gcc, but then it can be later set to HOSTCC
which may be clang. tools/scripts/Makefile.include is needed for host
set up and common macros in objtool's Makefile. Rather than override
CC to HOSTCC, just pass CC as HOSTCC to Makefile.build, the libsubcmd
builds and the linkage step. This means the Makefiles don't see things
like CC changing and tool flag determination, and similar, work
properly.
Also, clear the passed subdir as otherwise an outer build may break by
inadvertently passing an inappropriate value.

lgtm did you try cross build and build with clang?

Hmm.. I don't have a cross build but I checked clang. Any chance you
could check the cross build?

I tested with cross builds for s390/ppc/arm64 and it was ok

I wonder all the tools should use HOSTCC in the first place?
seems more clear than forcing it from other makefiles
subcmd even has:
CC ?= $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc
LD ?= $(CROSS_COMPILE)ld
AR ?= $(CROSS_COMPILE)ar
which seems wrong unless I'm missing something.. should be always
the host compiler, right?

there's extra AR set and ARCH value is not in ""

Hmm.. it seems like a feature to be able to cross compile things like
the perf tool.
I agree the way this is all done is muddling and we should try to keep
the way it is done consistent. The pattern of always early including
Makefile.include, that sets flags based on CC, but then overriding CC
was what I was after cleaning up here. Let's work on migrating to
something better.
