Following are the accumulated kbuild updates.
A mixture of new stuff and fixes.
The cc-cross-prefix is new and developed on request from Geert Uytterhoeven.
With cc-cross-prefix it is now much easier to have a few default
cross compile prefixes and defaulting to none - if none of them were present.
ARCH maintainers are expected to pick up this feature soon.
The other noteworthy change is the move of the mailing list for kbuild/kconfig.

In this example for a specific GCC version the build will error out explaining

+ cc-cross-prefix
+ cc-cross-prefix is used to check if there exist a $(CC) in path with
+ one of the listed prefixes. The first prefix where there exist a
+ prefix$(CC) in the PATH is returned - and if no prefix$(CC) is found
+ then nothing is returned.
+ Additional prefixes are separated by a single space in the
+ call of cc-cross-prefix.
+ This functionality is usefull for architecture Makefile that try
+ to set CROSS_COMPILE to well know values but may have several
+ values to select between.
+ It is recommended only to try to set CROSS_COMPILE is it is a cross
+ build (host arch is different from target arch). And is CROSS_COMPILE
+ is already set then leave it with the old value.
+
+ Example:
+ #arch/m68k/Makefile
+ ifneq ($(SUBARCH),$(ARCH))
+ ifeq ($(CROSS_COMPILE),)
+ CROSS_COMPILE := $(call cc-cross-prefix, m68k-linux-gnu-)
