Description SpanKY gentoo-dev 2007-10-01 13:14:22 UTC 
currently the linux-mod.eclass does a half-ass job and sets up HOSTCC/CC/LDFLAGS, but not the actual linker (LD) which means using the eclass to actually cross-compile fails

i cant quite fathom why the eclass jumps through hoops to explicitly set these things ... seems to me it should just set CROSS_COMPILE to ${CHOST}- and be done

also, the ARCH stuff should use the helper functions set_arch_to_kernel and set_arch_to_portage rather than saving/restoring ARCH by itself ...
