The real issue here is that you shouldn't have to do this at all. 
Menuselect should be automatically built for the host machine without 
any extra effort.

The main Makefile already pases the host CC to be used.

  @CC="$(HOST_CC)" LD="" AR="" RANLIB="" $(MAKE) -C menuselect 
CONFIGURE_SILENT="--silent"

So, if this isn't working for you, then we need to figure out why ...
