You can now either use a file named .config.mk, or pass the values as make
arguments, a-la kernel:

$ make CROSS_COMPILE=gcc-prefix-

So it becomes easier to compile for different targets without re-configuring:

$ make O=target1.build CROSS_COMPILE=target1-prefix-
$ make O=target2.build CROSS_COMPILE=target2-prefix-

While I do agree using a menu-driven interface is usefull, I have to agree that
configuring the compiler prefix and flags do not belong to the configuration.
