This patch aimed to fix a regression [0], where `CC` initialization
moved beyond its first use. But, on closer inspection it turned out that
the `CC` initialization does not work as expected due to GNU Make
filling it with `cc` by default. So unless implicit values were
explicitly disabled via a GNU Make option, the default value of
`$CROSSPREFIX` + `gcc` was never used. At the same time the implicit
value `cc` maps to `gcc` in (most/all?) MinGW envs.
`AR` has the same issue, with a default value of `ar`.
We could reintroduce a separate variable to fix this without ill
effects, but for simplicity and flexibility, it seems better to drop
support for `CROSSPREFIX`, along with our own `CC`/`AR` init logic, and
require the caller to initialize `CC`, `AR` and `RC` to the full
(prefixed if necessary) names of these tools, as desired.
We keep `RC ?= windres` because `RC` is empty by default.
Also fix grammar in a comment.
