Here is the exact command line (w/o this patch):
wfg@bee ~/cc/mmotm% ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-linux-gnu- /usr/bin/make

Yes it is.

However I confirmed that the linux-2.6 tree is OK, the above patch that caused
the problem is still sitting in -mm tree:
commit 7f48a0a8c15c41f382f2265088bc96007836e608
Author: Tiago Maluta <tiago.maluta@...il.com>

Linux has an recent option to define CROSS_COMPILE in menuconfig.
Typically, one of the options when building for another target is
('arm' is just an example):
# make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-cc O=../build
If I omit CROSS_COMPILE and use the new way in .config:
CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE="arm-cc"
I got:
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-mlittle-endian"
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-mabi=aapcs-linux"
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-mno-thumb-interwork"
/usr/src/linux/kernel/bounds.c:1: error: bad value (armv5t) for -march= switch
/usr/src/linux/kernel/bounds.c:1: error: bad value (armv5t) for -mtune= switch
make[2]: *** [kernel/bounds.s] Error 1
make[1]: *** [prepare0] Error 2
make: *** [sub-make] Error 2
Verbose output clearly says that I'm using the host compiler instead cross
compiler. This patch fixed my problem.
