Dear Elie De Brauwer,

I tried crosscompiling fw_printenv lately (on 2011.03 RC1) but I kept ending with a natively compiled version of fw_printenv. When looking at the tools/env/Makefile I saw it was using $(HOSTCC) and friends, basicly ever since: http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=commitdiff;h=abd315a1357ab05e82f0d61ebad6...
Is there a rationale for this ? Just reverting this change to http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=blob;f=tools/env/Makefile;hb=78acc472d971...
Makes building a crosscompiled fw_printenv possible again.
There is a rationale for that, and Mike Frisinger explained it when this patch was being discussed, and later again. Please see the archives.
I have to admit that I share your confusion, but even rational is relative ;-)
Best regards,
