Suppose we have an autotools project that looks like it is using the cross
compiler but is actually reaching out to the host compiler instead.
On an x86-64 build, you may not even notice.
To be able to prevent this, this patch implements a new gcc warning
"Wnot-cross-compiler". The intention here is to intentionally break a build
if we are not using a cross-compiler when one is expected to be used.
Expected usage: " -Wnot-cross-compiler -Werror=not-cross-compiler "
