Well, I haven't actually tried it myself. Is setting just CFLAGS enough
when you're in the lower-level directory? I might have thought you had to
override the CXX and LD flags as well. But I'd want to try it before
committing myself to an opinion... :)

Matter of fact, I knew it already, or rather had all the clues I
needed.... I used to (a few years back) very regularly be in the habit of
cd'ing into the gcc subdir and doing "make all" there for gcc builds; when
all you want is a cross-compiler, you might as well save the time of
building cross- and host- libiberty et al. Then I got a faster computer,
and fell out of the habit! But, yeh, this is a general principle with all
the software that shares top-level autoconf; once you've configured it you
can just cd into the relevant lower-level dir and do a "make all", to just
get the particular thing you want built.
cheers,
