Yes. When we added cross build support to dh_auto_build for the makefile
buildsystem, we figured that many Makefiles would use "=" assignments
for CC. Therefore dh_auto_build passes CC, CXX and PKG_CONFIG as command
line variables overriding the relevant assignments. The usage of LD was
less consistent, so dh_auto_build does not pass LD. If this doesn't
fully answer your question, don't hesitate to ask.
