  i suspected as much, although would it not be more convenient to
simply define a single env var -- CROSS_COMPILE= -- and use that as
the basis for all cross-compilation for the rest of the build, rather
than having to individually set each of CC, LD and so on?  using a
single variable is pretty standard these days.  any reason it isn't
done this way for luci?
