Yes it is for cross building. So the host clang / host ld do the native
build, the host clang with some help from arm-gnueabi-freebsd-as and
arm-gnueabi-freebsd-ld do the cross build.

If you only want  to build tools for the host you need something like:

gmake CC=cc sandbox_config tools

Since CC is defined to $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc it ends up being gcc when
CROSS_COMPILE is not set, hence you get the 'gcc not found' errors.
