I ran into that issue as well.  My build script does something like

  sed -i -e s@^CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE=\"[^\"]*\"\$@CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE=\"\"@
  sed -i -e s@^CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE=\"[^\"]*\"\$@CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE=\"\"@
  sed -i -e s/^CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y\$/#\ CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO\ is\ not\ set/

to patch up two two annoying settings and the last one to make the compiler
run a little quicker and increase chances for a hit in ccache.

But for benefit of the rest of the world I've applied tihs patch and will
also patch up powertv_defconfig which now is the last CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE
user.

Thanks!
