I already explained this.

For details, please see the documentation; see especially section
"3.6.A Table of possible values for $CROSS_COMPILE" at
http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDKUsage#CrossCompileValues

(note that this table does not mention all implications / effects  of
chosing CROSS_COMPILE - there are other compiler optiones affected as
well, i. e. things like -mfloat-gprs, -mspe, -mabi, etc.).

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
