Hello,
as the command constants in cmd_confdefs.h are long longs, the programs in tools that include a board configuration file dont't compile with GCC 2.x. But on a number of workstations the 'gcc' command is still 2.95.x, while the 3.x version is named gcc3, gcc-3 or similar. One way to solve this is to add a line to tools/Makefile like HOSTCC=gcc-3 But now I need a different makefile on different machines. To avoid this, I tried things like $ HOSTCC=gcc-3 make or even $ HOSTCC=gcc-3 make -e but none of these worked. The most elegant version would be to give the HOSTCC at configuration time, i.e. $ HOSTCC=gcc-3 make xyz_config But I have no idea whether this is possible and if so how to implement it.
Any ideas?

I'm not sure why "HOSTCC=gcc-3 make -e" isn't working. This should override the declaration in config.mk.
However, you can always try the alternative (better) syntax: make HOSTCC=gcc-3
make -e should be avoided because it causes *all* of your environment variables to override declarations in the Makefile. Using the format above you can explicity override individual variables.
