We usually do put options into the HOSTCC variable.  Of course one can
argue about that, but the make documentation says about CC:

`CC'
     Program for compiling C programs; default `cc'.

and about

`CFLAGS'
     Extra flags to give to the C compiler.

So maybe you can do the same in a cleaner way like

make HOSTCC='arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc' HOSTCFLAGS='-static' env

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to win a beauty contest, but my
experience tells me that such "oh this works for me" quick and dirty
solutions tend to build up "debt" that can be hard to pay later on ;)

Cheers
  Detlev
