ive posted this patch a few times but never gotten a response ...

this code is wrong because ppc_8xx-size rarely exists for people who are not 
doing ppc development while size almost always exists.

so while the toplevel Makefile will setup a default CROSS prefix based on the 
board config, the MAKEALL script does not have access to that information, so 
for everyone who lacks ppc_8xx-size, using the MAKEALL script yields annoying 
broken output by default.

consider my typical use case:
./MAKEALL blackfin
i do not have CROSS_COMPILE set in my env and this is OK because the top level 
Makefile sets it by default to bfin-uclinux-.
