See v1.7.3.3~28^2 (Makefile: add CC to TRACK_CFLAGS, 2010-09-12), found with "git log --no-merges v1.7.3.2..v1.7.3.4 -- Makefile". That is, now CC is tracked like $prefix and $CFLAGS are.

The idea of that change was presumably that if you switch CC from, say, "gcc -m32" to "gcc -m64", then the build result will not be correct unless you remake things. I have mixed feelings about it, since from time to time I might want to switch between gcc-4.4 and gcc-4.5 without rebuilding everything.

Interesting. It might be convenient to save these variables in /tmp/Git-16.roots/Git-16~obj/i386/config.mak.

Thanks for reporting.  Some thinking to do.
