HOSTCC wasn't exported here, I exported it myself.

I'm using slackware 3.0 (very old), but most things are upgraded.

GNU Make version 3.77, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
GNU bash, version 2.03.0(1)-release (i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1)

Should I try make 3.78.1?

Things worked fine in 2.3.51.
