kbuild: introduce cc-cross-prefix
cc-cross-prefix is useful for the architecture that like
to provide a default CROSS_COMPILE value,
but may have several to select between.
Sample usage:
ifneq ($(SUBARCH),$(ARCH))
ifeq ($(CROSS_COMPILE),)
CROSS_COMPILE := $(call cc-cross-prefix, m68k-linux-gnu- m68k-linux-)
endif
endif
Actual usage by the different archs will taken care of later.
