The fix is fine, but what exactly is your use case for using 'make
cross'? It's not documented anywhere, and I was thinking about dropping
it.

Sometimes i just want to built/prepare only the toolchain right after using a defconfig or a make clean, to be able to use the toolchain for building specific buildroot packages or compile local source code outside buildroot without build unnecessary stuff like busybox, rootfs, etc... If it's useful i can submit a patch to document it. Best regards -- Fabio Porcedda

Sounds useful to me. But I'd call the target "toolchain" instead of "cross". That sounds more like what it does, doesn't it? Best regards, Bjørn Forsman

If it's ok i will send an updated patch to rename and document it (make help). Best regards -- Fabio Porcedda
