From: Tiago Maluta on
Linux has an recent option to define CROSS_COMPILE in menuconfig.

Typically, one of the options when building for another target is
('arm' is just an example):

# make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-cc O=../build

If I omit CROSS_COMPILE and use the new way in .config:
CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE="arm-cc"

I got:

cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-mlittle-endian"
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-mabi=aapcs-linux"
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-mno-thumb-interwork"
/usr/src/linux/kernel/bounds.c:1: error: bad value (armv5t) for
-march= switch
/usr/src/linux/kernel/bounds.c:1: error: bad value (armv5t) for
-mtune= switch
make[2]: *** [kernel/bounds.s] Error 1
make[1]: *** [prepare0] Error 2
make: *** [sub-make] Error 2

Verbose output clearly says that I'm using the host compiler instead
cross compiler.
This patch fixed my problem:
