Yes. Please don't do this, as it is not  necessary.  The  "mips_4KC-"
setting  above  is  just the default which is used when the user does
not supply a CROSS_COMPILE setting either in his  environment  or  in
the make command line. This should be sufficient.

This   is   because   we   needed   a   way   to    find    out    if
"allow_branch_to_undefined"  is  available;  maybe  you know a better
approach.

Best regards,
