I don't actually understand why this works. I fixed it slightly
differently by explicitly setting $STRIP.
If just setting $CROSS is enough to fix this, how many other things can
be fixed by setting $CROSS? What exactly is the scope of this - does it
only work in binutils or does it have wider application? I tried reading
the autconf manula and it didn't seem to say anything about this. How is
setting $CROSS different from setting --host?
Is there any reason to prefer one of these fixes over the other?
Marcin's is shorter, mine is a bit clearer?
Is cross-auto-foo best practice actually written down anywhere?
