While trying to cross build bsdgames, I noticed that it would always
select gcc and g++ as compilers. The attached patch does not make
bsdgames cross buildable, but it makes bsdgames use a more suitable
compiler:
* For cross compilation dpkg's buildtools.mk has sane defaults.
* Using the CC and CXX variables allows builders to override the
compiler e.g. with clang in a uniform way.
Cross building still fails, because bsdgames has a few support utilities
that are run during build. Its build system does not properly
differentiate these tools for use with different compilers.
Please consider applying the attached patch to improve the compiler
choice nonetheless.
