"man make":
       -p   Print the data base (rules and variable values)  that
            results  from  reading the makefiles; then execute as
            usual or as otherwise specified.   This  also  prints
            the  version  information given by the -v switch (see
            below).  To print the data  base  without  trying  to
            remake any files, use make -p -f/dev/null.
 $ make -p -f/dev/null 2>/dev/null | grep "cxx"
 
There is no rule for cxx.  You must beg upstream to include it, I guess :-)
