Bug#811561: net-tools FTCBFS: uses build architecture tools (gcc, pkg-config)

[Helmut Grohne]

Source: net-tools
Version: 1.60+git20150829.73cef8a-2

Dear net-tools maintainers,

I noticed that net-tools is built the build architecture compiler during
cross builds. The packaging tries to address this by setting up the CC
variable correctly, but does not account for the fact that CC has a
built-in default. Thus the ?= assignment never assigns anything.
Furthermore, pkg-config must also be cross-prefixed. Please consider
applying the attached patch.

Helmut
