Summary:                    HOSTCC not exported by top level Makefile causes
makefw compile to fail
Description: 
The Makefile does not explicitly export HOSTCC.  As this is not in the
initial environment, GNU Make does not export it by default.  As a result,
the make in the kernel directory, which does not independently include
makeopts, the file that actually includes the definition of HOSTCC,
substitutes a null string for HOSTCC resulting in a command not found when
compiling the, host platform, utiity makefw.

The patch makes the build go to completion.

However, a quick scan suggests that ARCH and INSTALL also need to be
propagated, and possibly more.  ARCH only causes a problem with 64 bit
architectures.

I don't want to do a real install at the moment, because I was only
dry-running and "make -n install" breaks on wct4xxp/wct4xxp.o, but I don't
know if that is the result of -n.  If variables are not getting through, I
need to be careful with false roots.

I tried make -kn install, and it looks like INSTALL isn't getting through,
but it is defaulting to "install", rather than "/usr/bin/ginstall -c",
which, by contorted symbolic links and "-c" being ignored, is the same!

Looking at make.info, it does look like there are ways of causing
everything to get exported by using an "export" command or a target of
".EXPORT_ALL_VARIABLES".

Unfortunately, I don't have time to investigate further tonight.
