My request is that the user should be able to specify the cross compiler to use.

Essentially, what if the user wants to do `-DBOLT_AARCH64_CXX_COMPILER=foobar`?. I think this should be fine, and it's not GNU. Ideally it should 'win' over the auto-detection as well.

That said, the user could probably also invoke cmake manually just for the runtimes for this use case, so maybe what you have - which I understand is opportunistically attempting to auto-detect if we can reuse the compiler used to compile bolt - is fine.
