Correct me if I'm wrong, but IIRC the CPPFLAGS have nothing to do with C++.
They're for `cpp` tool which is "The C PreProcessor" (check `man cpp`).
So as far as I understand cmake (and every other build system) MUST ignore
the CPPFLAGS, right?

The CFLAGS should be used by `gcc` and CXXFLAGS should to go to `g++`.

Is there a bug somewhere causing CPPFLAGS to be used by g++? Is that a typo
on wiki? Or am I missing something?
