+ cc-cross-prefix
+ cc-cross-prefix is used to check if there exist a $(CC) in path with
+ one of the listed prefixes. The first prefix where there exist a
+ prefix$(CC) in the PATH is returned - and if no prefix$(CC) is found
+ then nothing is returned.
+ Additional prefixes are separated by a single space in the

+ This functionality is usefull for architecture Makefile that try
+ to set CROSS_COMPILE to well know values but may have several
+ values to select between.
+ It is recommended only to try to set CROSS_COMPILE is it is a cross
+ build (host arch is different from target arch). And is CROSS_COMPILE
+ is already set then leave it with the old value.

+ Example:
+ #arch/m68k/Makefile

+ ifeq ($(CROSS_COMPILE),)
+ CROSS_COMPILE := $(call cc-cross-prefix, m68k-linux-gnu-)
