I don't know whether this change came from Montavista or from the vendor
supplying the kernel sources. Anyway, someone changed CROSS_COMPILE to
override the environment, thus using a prefix different from the
toolchain built by OE.

CROSS_COMPILE   = $(shell if [ -f .mvl_cross_compile ]; then \
                                  cat .mvl_cross_compile; \
                          fi)

With the patch applied, the variable CROSS_COMPILE isn't used anymore,
because all cross-tools are specified on the command line in the same
manner.

Another way to solve this problem could have been to set CROSS_COMPILE
on the command line instead of in the environment. I haven't tried that.
I could create an updated patch if this was preferred.

Andreas
