[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1107684: genometester FTCBFS: C vs C++ confusion

genometester fails to cross build from source in a surprising way. It's
a compilation failure, but upon closer inspection the notable difference
is that the cross build used g++ whereas the native build used gcc.
dh_auto_build overrides CXX, which is the standard variable for the C++
compiler, but the upstream Makefile sets it to gcc. This also means that
the native build presently passes CXXFLAGS to the C compiler, which may
presently work but fail later. I suggest using the standard variables
with standard meanings. Once doing so it readily cross builds. I'm
attaching a patch (for forky) for your convenience.
