or a full path to the toolchain base:
	CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/foo/arm-linux-gnueabi-

toolchains tend to be site-specific.  i use compilers i created myself, or 
found via kernel.org, or i've gotten directly from SoC vendors.  all of which 
have different names.  so while i think it'd be fine for maintainers to specify 
a preference, it would merely be that.
