Summary:
This came up when trying to build GHC HEAD with nix. We
do not set CCX for integer-gmp when running ./configure. We do
this however for libffi.

The result is, that if CCX is not set, we default to the system
one, of which there might be none (as in nixos's case).  This
will not show on a debian+nix or similar setup, where the system
`cxx` is still in place, and only shows up when the system tries
hard to sandbox everything (even cxx) as nixOS does.

We use `CXX`, which is set to either `clang` or `CC_STAGE1`, and
also usedfor `CC`, similar to what we do for libffi.c
