Include lib.mk before consuming $(CC) and document that lib.mk overwrites $(CC) unless make was invoked with -e or $(CC) was specified after make (which apparently makes the environment override the Makefile?!?!). Including lib.mk after using it for probing, e.g. for -no-pie, can lead to weirdness.
