Because HOSTCC is the compiler used to build stuff for the host
machine.

The -I/opt/crosstools/sitec-s4/includes looks as if you have configured
the Host directory (BR2_HOST_DIR) to that location. This is normally
only done if you want to build toolchain once and then store it there
for later reuse (notice that we now have 'make sdk' to handle such
things instead).

When you do your normal build using that toolchain you should NOT set
BR2_HOST_DIR to that location.
