Re: how to change $(CC) for just some targets

One way we are trying to achieve this in GRUB 2 is, by using nested projects feature. In grub 2 some parts needs to be compiled using HOST_CC and others using TARGET_CC. All sources that need TARGET_CC are moved into a sub-directory and we a separate configure.ac file for them. Top-level directo
