Error(s) that match a know pattern in addition to what has been reported in the summary:

It seems that 

x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -E

is not one to one corresponding to 

x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-cpp

at least when generating rpc files

I can do nothing to make it digest it.

But the changes done now support specifying

CPP=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-cpp

or generally

CPP=${CHOST}-cpp
