You set it to be the name of the cross compiling GCC binary prefix.
Likely, something like "sparc-unknown-linux-ppc-".  For example, I have
a meticulously named toolchain environment that supplies a cross
compiler like this:

    % make CROSS_COMPILE=/_TOOLS_/dist/gnu-gcc-3.3-e500-branch-20040127-binutils-2.14-powerpc-unknown-linux-gnuspe/i686-pc-linux2.4/bin/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnuspe-

Since I don't know what your toolchain looks like, you are going
to have to figure out how that maps to your tools, I'm afraid...

HTH, though,
