Dear xyyiezi,

I'm guessing you don't have your PATH set up correctly.  You should 
export a symbol for your cross compiler location and prefix rather than 
modifying the makefile.  The following is what I use:

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/eldk/usr/bin/
export CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-
export ARCH=ppc

After doing this, make will invoke the proper cross compiler.  Obviously,
1) Your configuration may be different
2) If you put the above in a script file, you must use the bash command 
"source" to run it in your current shell.  If you type the script file 
at the command line, it will run in a spawned shell and the exported 
symbols will be gone when the spawned shell exists (not what you want!).

Best regards,
