Hi Peter,

The commit caused building gcc-crosssdk-initial-x86_64 failed.
...
Unknown CPU given in --with-arch=armv7-a.
...

While crosssdk, TARGET_ARCH = "${SDK_ARCH}" (set in crosssdk.bbclass)
so the values of '--target=x86_64-wrlinuxsdk-linux --with-arch=armv7-a'
triggered the above failure.

How about override for the 'target/cross' and not for 'crosssdk' ?

This was fixed with:
