[RFC PATCH 2/2] tools build: Take CC, AS, and LD from the command line

[Douglas Anderson]

If the top-level tools build is called to build a tool and is passed
CC, AS, or LD on the command line then someone wants to use a
different compiler, assembler, or linker.  Let's honor that.

This together with the change ("kbuild: Pass HOSTCC and similar to
tools Makefiles") allows us to properly get the HOST C Compiler used
when the main kernel Makefile calls into the tools.
