Thanks. Are you sure you don't mean CC? I can't find this documented
anywhere in kernel-package docs, but there is the following line in
/usr/bin/make-kpkg.

my $cc = $ENV{'CC'};

I don't know perl, but it looks like it is sourcing the CC environment
variable.

Perhaps this should be added to the man page (kernel-pkg.conf
perhaps)? What do you think?
