Sorry, I don't think I saw a suggestion from you to not set CC - though I may have missed emails since this patch series was sent from the email of my former employer.

Marvin did suggest that though, so I can certainly add another patch to the series to do that.

Rework the BaseTools Makefiles removing the 'BUILD_' prefix (BUILD_CC

Hmm, not sure this is a good idea.  I suspect there was some reason to
use BUILD_CC instead of CC in the first place ...
It looks like the change to use BUILD_CC was introduced by Liming in:


     BaseTools GnuMakefile: Update GCC Flags to the specific one with BUILD_
prefix

     To avoid the conflict with the default GCC flag name, BUILD_ prefix is
added.

I don't understand how that would help, and I'm wondering if it was perhaps
the result of a misunderstanding.
Hmm, neither the commit message nor the patch itself have any hints of
actual problems fixed.  The "conflict" notion indeed hints this might
have been a misunderstanding.

So, going back to just use CC + CFLAGS + friends looks fine to me.

The suggestion to simply not set CC stands stands.

take care,
