Is the way how you handle $CROSS_COMPILE and $CC really correct? about openssl HOT 2 OPEN

Yeah, if we get CC from environment with an absolute path, we definitely should not prepend CROSS_COMPILE.

Just FYI, I also created an issue with emscripten, as I wasn't sure if their way of setting up $CROSS_COMPILE and $CC is the expected way of doing things.

emscripten-core/emscripten#21969

I doubt there are any "official rules" for cross compiling, but maybe there are unofficial de-facto standards that have established over the years.

So just in case you think their way of setting variables might not be the right way, they would also be willing to change it and accept a patch I could give them. I'm just trying to figure out what the right thing to do is. It's always a bit tricky when things just don't work, but you can't be sure who's to blame, and sometimes the answer is "both" and sometimes it's actually "nobody".

I think the proposed logic regarding absolute paths makes perfect sense, but if you have any additional preferences on how to set up a better cross-compiler environment, I'd be happy to take your input on that other issue.
