For consistency,
HOSTCXX = c++

So, Jeroen, what is your pick ? Will you send a v3 7/8, or are you sticking with g++?
(or if everyone agrees, I could to the change to v2 7/8 when applying it, and add a comment about it in the commit message.)
I did check Masahiro's statement that cpp is actually used in u-boot and it is; make xconfig uses it, if I recall correctly. And as Masahiro suggested I sent it to linux-kbuild mailinglist, but I am in the impression it never arrived, perhaps I need to be subscribed or something...
I received it because you cced me.
But I am afraid it did not reach the kbuild ML because I could not find it in the kbuild ML archive.
I recommend to subscribe to the ML and then resend your patch.
To subscribe to it, visit the following and click 'subscribe' http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-kbuild
The kbuild ML does not have much volume. I guess you won't be annoyed.
To attract the attention of key persons, I'd like to suggest:
- add 'kbuild: ' prefix to the subject like:
kbuild: default to cc/c++ for host compiler
- you can cc linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org too. (scripts/get_maintainer.pl will do it automatically. But I am not sure if it can be reached from unsubscribers. this ML has a huge volume..)
Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
