But 2bc42bfba9b247abd was to address my complaint that we need to specify
CROSS_COMPILE prefix on cmdline.

When doing the needful Alexey found the "noise" when a prefix didn't exist, which
913ab9780fc0212 address.

So these seem like orthogonal to me - that is unless I got the wired crossed somewhow.

I would happily do that on next rc if that is infact needed.
