Out of curiosity, what is an example of something in CPPFLAGS that we need in the command line for getting built-in compiler settings?

This is a duplicate of the entry immediately above.

This is the value I get for Fennec:
/Users/bgirard/mozilla/android-ndk/android-ndk-r8e/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.7/prebuilt/darwin-x86_64/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-g++ -idirafter /Users/bgirard/mozilla/android-ndk/android-ndk-r8e/platforms/android-9/arch-arm/usr/include  -E -P -v -dD "${INPUTS}" -std=c++11

where
_cxx = /Users/bgirard/mozilla/android-ndk/android-ndk-r8e/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.7/prebuilt/darwin-x86_64/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-g++
_cppflags = -idirafter /Users/bgirard/mozilla/android-ndk/android-ndk-r8e/platforms/android-9/arch-arm/usr/include

and the suffix: -E -P -v -dD "${INPUTS}" -std=c++11

Note here that CPPFLAGS is needed to identify the sdk version. For B2G its needed for the isystem definition:
/usr/bin/ccache /home/vagrant/mozilla/b2g-hamachi/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.x/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-g++ -DANDROID -isystem /home/vagrant/mozilla/b2g-hamachi/bionic/libc/arch-arm/include -isystem /home/vagrant/mozilla/b2g-hamachi/bionic/libc/include/ -isystem /home/vagrant/mozilla/b2g-hamachi/bionic/libc/kernel/common -isystem /home/vagrant/mozilla/b2g-hamachi/bionic/libc/kernel/arch-arm -isystem /home/vagrant/mozilla/b2g-hamachi/bionic/libm/include -I/home/vagrant/mozilla/b2g-hamachi/system -I/home/vagrant/mozilla/b2g-hamachi/system/core/include -isystem /home/vagrant/mozilla/b2g-hamachi/bionic -I/home/vagrant/mozilla/b2g-hamachi/hardware/libhardware/include -I/home/vagrant/mozilla/b2g-hamachi/external/valgrind/fxos-include -I/home/vagrant/mozilla/b2g-hamachi/frameworks/base/opengl/include -I/home/vagrant/mozilla/b2g-hamachi/frameworks/base/native/include -I/home/vagrant/mozilla/b2g-hamachi/frameworks/base/include -I/home/vagrant/mozilla/b2g-hamachi/frameworks/base/services/camera -I/home/vagrant/mozilla/b2g-hamachi/frameworks/base/include/media/stagefright -I/home/vagrant/mozilla/b2g-hamachi/frameworks/base/include/media/stagefright/openmax -I/home/vagrant/mozilla/b2g-hamachi/frameworks/base/media/libstagefright/rtsp -I/home/vagrant/mozilla/b2g-hamachi/frameworks/base/media/libstagefright/include -I/home/vagrant/mozilla/b2g-hamachi/external/dbus -I/home/vagrant/mozilla/b2g-hamachi/external/bluetooth/bluez/lib -I/home/vagrant/mozilla/b2g-hamachi/dalvik/libnativehelper/include/nativehelper  -E -P -v -dD "${INPUTS}" -std=c++11

Talked to BenWa about this. Having CPPFLAGS in the command to get the built-in compiler specs is a convenient way to tell Eclipse about the system include paths in CPPFLAGS (since running the command to get the built-in compiler specs will not return these paths as built-in include paths). 

I don't think the built-in compiler specs were meant to  be used this way, and I think a more proper way to do this would be to parse the CPPFLAGS ourselves and add entries for them to CDT User Settings entries, but this is fine for now.
