[Buildroot] Updated status on the compilation of busybox on Mac OS X

[Nicholas Kinar <n.kinar@usask.ca>]

In buildroot, how do I set the host system for the configuration of 
gcc?  This is trivial for a command-line compile of gcc, but how would I 
do this within Buildroot, so that the appropriate options are passed to 
./configure for gcc?

Perhaps changing this would allow for gcc to more properly compile.
