The whole CROSS_PREFIX thing is a bad idea, IMHO.
Crosscompiling people are used to explicitly pass the toolchain
commands via envvars. I haven't analyzed the current configure
script completely, but the CROSS_PREFIX stuff has good chances 
to break somewhere. At least, the current gcc-detection is bad:
it guesses from the filename, not asking it.
