Use ?= operator to let arch/*/Makefile to assign CROSS_COMPILE only
when CROSS_COMPILE is undefined.

This allows arch-Makefiles to drop the ifeq ($(CROSS_COMPILE),)
conditional.

This slightly changes the behavior; the arch-Makefile previously
overrode CROSS_COMPILE when CROSS_COMPILE has already been made empty
via an environment variable as in 'export CROSS_COMPILE='.

With this commit, arch-Makefle will respect the user's environment
set-up, which seems to be a more correct behavior.

What about arch/xtensa/Makefile?

This does not seem to work as expected: my standard build scripts
(using "make ARCH=m68k") no longer pick up the cross-compiler,
but fall back to the native compiler, thus breaking the build.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

Agh, sorry, this patch does not work
because the top Makefile exports CROSS_COMPILE.

export ARCH SRCARCH CONFIG_SHELL BASH HOSTCC KBUILD_HOSTCFLAGS
CROSS_COMPILE LD CC



Removing CROSS_COMPILE from that makes ?= work,
but it would break other parts.


Please ignore this patch.

The following will make this patch work, but probably it is better to
not do this...
