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.

I feel we're stepping over Kbuild's definitions. IIRC we already had a
problem before where we accidentally stepped over Kbuild's value of ARCH.

We implicitly pass the target ARCH to Kbuild through the the kernel build
directory.

Or is this the kernel 2.4 build system alone?

In that case let's pass those variables explicitly, and not use 'export'.
