During cross compiling, CPP is being set to the target compiler even for

This is libiberty being built for the build environment, not the target one
(i.e. in build-x86_64-linux). As such it should be using the build environment's
gcc and not the target one. In the mingw case the system headers are quite
different leading to build failures related to not being able to include a
process.h file for pem-unix.c.
Further analysis shows the same issue occuring for CPPFLAGS too.
Fix this by adding support for CPP_FOR_BUILD and CPPFLAGS_FOR_BUILD which
for example, avoids mixing the mingw headers for host binaries on linux
systems.
OK.
I don't think Richard P. has write access, so I went ahead and pushed
this to the trunk.
