Summary:                    Invalid compiler options on ARM cross compile
Description: 
When I'm cross-compiling for an ARM processor and I setup the .config file
via make menuconfig with the following:

USING_CROSS_COMPILER=y
CROSS_COMPILER_PREFIX="arm-linux-"
EXTRA_CFLAGS_OPTIONS="-march=armv4 -mtune=arm9tdmi"

I figure I should be able to just do a 'make' after that.  It fails with
the error shown in "Additional Information" below.  I figure that
'Rules.mak' is assuming I have an i386 gcc because it's adding all the
-malign-xxx=0 options, not the arm gcc option -fstrict-aliasing.

There are many ways to fix this:

1. compile with 'make CROSS=arm-linux-' works
2. move the inclusion of .config higher up in Rules.mak, so it comes
before the assignment of CROSS, CC, AR, etc...

I figure http://busybox.net/bugs/view.php?id=2 is the right way, since the
.config file is included in
Rules.mak, but it's after some uses of the variables that should've come
from .config...
