I'm not sure passing the parameters to make like this works,
they don't get passed to sub processes ?  I've always set them
in the environment so all children are guaranteed to see them.

I'd stick the commands in a scripts for easy repetition and tweaking.
Something like this:

  #!/bin/bash

  # Export cross build parameters to environment
  export ARCH=arm 
  export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-cortex_a15-linux-gnueabihf-

  # Put compiler bin in the front of my PATH (automatically exported)
  TOOLCHAIN=/home/zvivered/module/CARD/linux4.1.13/toolchain
  PATH=$TOOLCHAIN/crosstool/release/bin:$PATH

  # Build
  make clean
  make defconfig
  make

  # Use absolute path for install directory
  make CONFIG_PREFIX=$(pwd)/../../../rootfs install

Hope this helps
