Programs in tools/ directory are usually built for the host.
But some of them (mkimage, dumpimge, gen_eth_addr, etc.) are
useful on the target OS too.
Actually, prior to Kbuild, U-Boot could build tools for
the target like follows:
$ make target_board_config
$ export CROSS_COMPILE=cross_gcc_prefix
$ make HOSTCC=${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc HOSTSTRIP=${CROSS_COMPILE}strip tools
In Kbuild, we can no longer replace HOSTCC at the command line.
In order to get back that feature, this commit adds cross-tools target.
Usage:
Build tools for the host
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=cross_gcc_prefix tools
Build tools for the target
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=cross_gcc_prefix cross_tools
Besides, make cross_tools strip tools programs because we
generally expect smaller storages on embedded systems.
