It uses CC_FOR_BUILD, CC_FOR_HOST and CC_FOR_TARGET in its toplevel
configuration.

CC is used locally and is being set to one of CC_FOR_BUILD, CC_FOR_HOST
or CC_FOR_TARGET, depending on whether a configuration subdir is being
built for build, host or target.

If you set CC in the environment, this will override the CC being using
inside of a Makefile when invoking make in a subdirectory.

Not quite. The toplevel configure script sets CC to one of CC_FOR_*.

Just do not set CC in the environment. Setting CC in the environment
means asking for trouble - In all configurations, not only RTEMS.
