Hi, It's autotools best practise[1] to use the variables CC_FOR_BUILD etc when building tools that are required to build the rest of the package. A lot of packages do this, and they all repeat the same variable assignements, so consolidate these assignments in autotools.bbclass.
Not every instance of _FOR_BUILD has been removed from the metadata, as there are several cases where the assignment isn't the same (added flags, mainly). Tested with a world build of oe-core, zero buildhistory differences.
