your new easylogo rule lacks HOSTLDFLAGS ...

perhaps it would make more sense to create a HOSTCOMPILE/HOSTLINK (or 
whatever) variable so this kind of thing isnt missed ?
HOSTCOMPILE = $(HOSTCC) $(HOSTCFLAGS)
HOSTLINK = $(HOSTCOMPILE) $(HOSTLDFLAGS)

also, PEDCFLAGS seems at odds with the rest of your consistency changes.  how 
about naming it HOSTCFLAGS+PED ?  then you would have a new var:
HOSTCOMPILE+PED = $(HOSTCC) $(HOSTCFLAGS+PED)

it was intentional, but for different reasons.  easylogo isnt integrated into 
the u-boot build system, so in order to compile things in there, you had to go 
into the subdir and manually run `make`.  if it were integrated into the build 
system like all other tools, then converting to host tools is fine.  but 
unless i missed something, it doesnt appear to be ?  and now, going into the 
subdir and running `make` wont work either ...
