    ch05/libstdc++: set CXX=$LFS_TGT-gcc
    
    In a normal GCC build the top-level Makefile automatically sets the
    CXX=xgcc.  And without it the "checking for sin in -lm" probe will fail,
    and then GCC will believe the math functions (for example acosf) are not
    available and fail to build std.gcm (added since GCC 16) with about a
    dozen lines of error messages, which would likely disconcert the user if
    spotted.
