+# CROSS_COMPILE specify the prefix used for all executables used
+# during compilation. Only gcc and related bin-utils executables
+# are prefixed with $(CROSS_COMPILE).
+# CROSS_COMPILE can be set on the command line
+# make CROSS_COMPILE=ia64-linux-
+# Alternatively CROSS_COMPILE can be set in the environment.
+# A third alternative is to store a setting in .config so that plain
+# "make" in the configured kernel build directory always uses that.
+# Default value for CROSS_COMPILE is not to prefix executables
+# Note: Some architectures assign CROSS_COMPILE in their arch/*/config.mk
