Mike, what _exactly_ was the reason to drop cross compilation?
nothing was "dropped". you need to set your HOSTCC correctly for the host on which you want tools to compile.
But it is WRONG to use HOSTCC for fw_* - these are _target_ tools, and they need to be CROSS compiled.
so do what i said -- set the HOSTCC to the host you want the tools to run on. this will work for *all* tools instead of arbitrarily picking some to use HOSTCC while picking others to use CROSS.
this is like arguing that none of the tools in tools/Makefile cross-compile. they do. i simply fixed tools/env/Makefile to operate the same.
Seems this was not a fix, but introduced an error. Dp you agree to revert that commit?
of course i disagree. this change is a fix in my mind. -mike
