[yocto] Using old version of Recipe with new Yocto Release

[Burton, Ross]

That's because we now prune what tools the recipes can see on the
host, and cc isn't on the list.  Override cc to be ${BUILD_CC} and
this will work.

For example, I am currently trying to compile a 2015.01 version of the U-boot recipe with the Yocto Sumo release, but unfortunately it throws a compilation error that oe-runmake failed. Could anyone please guide me with this issue.
