Nope, sorry, crosstool.sh doesn't obey that convention.
There's even a hardcoded line or two like
  CC=gcc ...
  BUILD_CC=gcc
at one point in it.

I'd say create a fake gcc script that invokes the desired compiler,
and put that on your path.   Alternately, modify crosstool.sh to uniformly
use BUILD_CC, and make it easy for users to set that; then submit the
change so others can benefit.
