Then you've never looked at any of the Userland makefiles that build with gcc.
It's used by the userland shared-macros.mk to set CC, CXX, CFLAGS, etc. to
appropriate defaults.

If you were doing a build that used configure scripts, the Userland makefiles
pass CC/CXX/etc. to configure automatically, but I don't think it does that
for "justmake" since there is no configure script.
