Or was is CXXFLAGS_FOR_HOST or BUILD_CXXFLAGS ...? Searching this problem on the interwebs, many people seem to work around it by commenting out the failing line. Your solution seeme better :-) But, try CXXFLAGS="$(CXXFLAGS) -D__msxml_h__" or similar? Or use += , but that is only inside GNU make (the += operator in Bourne shell isn't quite the same).
