Well, that's what you should always do if cross-compiling a
kernel. E.g. if you are using the ARM linux 2.4.19-rmk7 or
something like that, you will need CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-

The thing is, most people tend to go ahead and change
CROSS_COMPILE directly in the top-level Makefile, and then
forget about it (until they upgrade to a new kernel, and
wonder why make menuconfig asks all those questions about
Pentium processors... Been there, done that :-) ).
