The thing is, that all the $(CC)/$(AR)/$(AS)/$(CPP) definitions are
fine as when used during the build process; but we have a bug when
using them in the initial steps while generating the "make" parameters
and variable settings - the bug is in config.mk which includes
cpu/*/config.mk *before* $(CC)/$(AR)/$(AS)/$(CPP) get set.

I will post a patch for this; it replaces this commit:

	commit b7166e05a513c0806b63b9dfb6f1d77645cede2a
	Author: TsiChung Liew <Tsi-Chung.Liew at freescale.com>
	Date:   Wed Apr 30 12:10:23 2008 -0500

	    ColdFire: Get information from the correct GCC

which I'm going to revert when the patch gets applied.

These changes have already been applied to the u-boot-testing
repository, see

Best regards,
