[ptxdist] [PATCH] host-tf-a: Disable compiler autodetection

[ptxdist] [PATCH] host-tf-a: Disable compiler autodetection

[Gavin Schenk]

On recent gnu make version compiler autodetection fails.

Michael stated in IRC:

It's a whitespace issue. If the tool is not found, then in
make_helpers/toolchain.mk toolchain-warn-unrecognized is called and that
expands to multiple empty lines, so $1-$2-id contains those and that
breaks somewhere later.

Setting CC=gcc is a good solution. It overwrites the autodetection. And
since we don't use it anyways, because we just build fiptool (which uses
HOSTCC), it does not really matter what we set there
