Description
Mason users may need to rebuild packages from source using a different compiler than was used for the binary packages. To enable this we'll need to expose the CXX and CC option rather than hardcoding in the mason.sh.
This will need to play well with specific scripts that have specific compiler needs (like LLVM compiles itself with a specific clang++ version: should it respect the override?)

Research direction
Start with mason.sh and the package scripts that have specific compiler requirements, including LLVM. Determine where CC and CXX are currently fixed, how selected environment settings should override them, and which package-specific compiler choices must remain; done means the behavior is defined for both general builds and those exceptions.
