Stop! We are not talking about "$(CC)gcc"!

The change was this:

-ifeq ($(findstring 4.2,$(shell $(CC) --version)),4.2)
+ifeq ($(findstring 4.2,$(shell $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc --version)),4.2)

And ``$(CC)'' and ``$(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc'' should be really the same
here.

$(CC) is the CROSS compiler, so the version of gcc on the host system
should not play any role. The host compiler would be $(HOSTCC)

Why should that be different?
