That's not pulling the cross compiler out of a *config* (as this patch
is proposing); rather from an env var.

I think the second paragraph you wrote shows we're all in agreement,
but I suspect you may be conflating *how* the toplevel Makefile knows
we're doing a cross compile. It doesn't read a config, this patch
would make it so a cross compiler is specified via config, Catalin
asked "please no," I agree with Catalin (and I suspect you do too).
