CC=kgcc incomplete in 2.4.0-test11-ac1

[William Stearns]

Good day, Alan,
	A kernel build with your latest prepatch still seems to use gcc
to compile some of the auxiliary tools:

gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o scripts/mkdep scripts/mkdep.c
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer gentbl.c -o gentbl -lm
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o scripts/split-include scripts/split-include.c
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o conmakehash conmakehash.c
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o gen-devlist gen-devlist.c
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o tools/build tools/build.c -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.0/include

	Do any of the above tools need to use kgcc as well, or is gcc
likely to work just fine?
	Cheers,
	- Bill

The userspace tools should be fine with the newer gcc.  It is set up
this way so that the userspace tools use the native compiler when
cross-compiling.  If you're really paranoid, set HOSTCC=kgcc as well.
