build: let HOST_CXXFLAGS default to HOST_CFLAGS

Usage of g++ should mimic the usage of gcc,
otherwise, part of a binary or library may have
optimizations and part of it may not,
unbeknownst to the users or developers working on a build.
This can lead to some features like, for example, FORTIFY_SOURCE,
to have less of an effect or even cause a build error on some hosts.

Therefore, let HOST_CXXFLAGS default to HOST_CFLAGS.
