It only goes in your local version of this file.  Everyone has a different
way they want their cross compilation to work, and those of us that use
native systems don't like this in the Makefile.  This is the historically
consistent response to everyone that has submitted a similar
patch over the years.

A two line change to a make file is not exactly cluttering anything up. If
you are doing native development then you use the distribution as it is
provided. Only if you are doing cross development do you need to create
these files. Just a nice logical in the developers face solution to a
problem that has been solved a 1000 time before.

This is what I do when cross compiling

make ARCH=ppc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-

Needs no changes to the makefile.
