For clarification, I suggested to remove CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE.

The following code:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v4.16-rc1/Makefile#L315
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v4.16-rc1/init/Kconfig#L58

I hope build bots are not using this.


Passing CROSS_COMPILE via the command line, environment
is still supported.
