    kbuild: use INSTALLKERNEL to select customized installkernel script · caa27b66
    Sam Ravnborg authored
    Replace the use of CROSS_COMPILE to select a customized
    installkernel script with the possibility to set INSTALLKERNEL
    to select a custom installkernel script when running make:
    
        make INSTALLKERNEL=arm-installkernel install
    
    With this patch we are now more consistent across
    different architectures - they did not all support use
    of CROSS_COMPILE.
    
    The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs
    to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change
    just because we change toolchain.
    
    The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch
    that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built - it would no
    longer be installable.
    [Thanks to Peter Z. for this hint]
    
    This patch undos what Ian did in commit:
    
      0f8e2d62
      ("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh")
    
    The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes
    looks obvious.
