Without this edit, it read to me as if the commit message claimed that
CC cannot be overridden via the environment *at all*, even with MAKEFLAGS.

The rest of the entire patch series looks good to me, I did not dig as
deeply as Ævar about that obstack patch, but if there is *some* sort of
upstream from where we can get a fix, I think we should try to go for that
(rather than risking to diverge even further).

Thanks,
Dscho
