crosstool cleanup, again ;-)

[Dr. H. Nikolaus Schaller]

Yann,
great work!

I have now tried to use it on MacOS X and after getting some packages  
through MacPorts and tweaking some environment variables, I could run  
the menu configuration.

Well, I did have to manually add -lintl within kconfig/Makefile I  
guess that won't harm other *ix systems.

I will now try to build a compiler...
