because MAKEALL is a pita to use. it has no automatic CROSS_COMPILE support,
and the current logic only allows one-CROSS_COMPILE-setting-per-run. so you
have to run MAKEALL by hand once per arch.

the documentation you quote only shows running MAKEALL for powerpc (since
that's the default), so even the docs are a bit unclear.

ideally, MAKEALL should be intelligent and automatically find an appropriate
toolchain if one isn't setup in the env. much like the buildall script i
posted recently.
