I thought users are supposed to build tools from the top-level, but
seems it is not necessarily true
according to your statement.

I am not quite sure how CC, AS, etc. are set-up, then.
Perhaps, relying on Make-builtin variables?

$ make --print-data-base | grep CPP

showed me the default of CPP is

CPP = $(CC) -E

I guess you are more familiar to the tools-build area,
so I follow your decision.
