And all possible targets are always available? I'd like to point out
that CROSS_COMPILE can be used for other than actual cross
compilation, e.g. building with just an alternative tool chain
built for the same target. Dropping the $(CROSS_COMPILE)
prefixes makes this impossible afaict. Requiring suitable wrapper
scripts to be put in place would seem better to me.

I also wonder why this change is needed for Arm, but wasn't
needed so far for x86. But perhaps no-one ever tried using it
so far ...

Is dropping dashes from the variable uniformly correct? If so,
could you please clarify in the commit message why that is?
