For consistency,

HOSTCXX         = c++

?


Kconfig has a C++ host program.
(scripts/kconfig/qconf.cc)



Could you please consider posting this patch to
linux-kbuild ML  because this may be,
I think, acceptable in Linux too.

On systems where both gcc and clang are installed,
we can select gcc or clang
by using update-alternatives (or alternative)
command.
