I cannot see how this would solve your problem.
Any variable assigned using := or ?= can be overrided by  variable
assigned on the command line like this:

   make VAR=values

Please note that there is a big difference between the above and this:

    VAR=value make

In the latter case you pass in VAR using the enviroment and it
is just like any other environment variable as seen from make.

On top of that the upstream kernel does not have the first
assignmnet to CROSS_COMPILE - so you need to update
your sources (or Andrews --mm is not recent enough.

Please try again with upstream kernel and let us know what you
conclude.
