Wrong CPP during cross-compilation

It appears that during cross-compilation the build system uses the wrong compiler as C preprocessor.

It may cause errors by passing incompatible flags to the cross-compiler --- for example when trying to cross-compile using 32-bit clang on a 64-bit system (sample output attached below).
