Attached is a number of changes to the build system that I've been using
to enable cross-compilation.  The biggest change is the introduction of
a "Config.mk" file that is included by all Rules.mk files.

The attachment was missing. In any case, it's not clear to me that any big changes are needed to the build system to support cross compilation -- could we just prepend a $(CROSS_COMPILE) variable to the name of each toolchain binary used to build images to be run on the target architecture? This is all that Linux provides.
