use the cross compiler again (fw_printenv is intended for a

the cross-compiler used to create u-boot has no guarantee that it'll produce executables useful for the target OS. often this isnt the case. HOSTCC however will produce useful userspace applications for whatever host the user has selection.
But in many cases the default for CC is sufficient to build such executables, whereas the default for HOSTCC is almost never (except when HOST==TARGET).
the difference is that the current state is consistent across all tools. i wish to cross-compile all of them for different systems and not just subsets in different inconsistent ways.
Usually HOSTCC refers to the system where the toolchain is running. So maybe we should introduce TARGETCC to build executables running on the system the toolchain is generating executables for. TARGETCC would
i'm ok with splitting the logic a bit more to refine the intentions -mike
