I doubt you will get either "id" or "cc" accepted into HOSTTOOLS 
in OE-Core. Definitely not "cc" as recipes are expected to use 
${BUILD_CC} (which uses "gcc") for the host compiler. And probably 
not "id" unless you have a very good explanation for why it is 
needed. The problem with "id" is that it is typically used to get 
information about the running user, which makes it a problem from 
a deterministic view. Also, since nothing in OE-Core requires "id", 
there is no reason to add it there. It could be added to layer.conf 
in meta-oe, but the concerns about determinism still stands.
