After commit f79473ed9220 ("pm: cpupower: Makefile: Allow overriding
cross-compiling env params") we would fail to cross compile cpupower in
buildroot which uses the recipe at [1] where only the CROSS variable is
being set.
The issue here is the use of the lazy evaluation for all variables: CC,
LD, AR, STRIP, RANLIB, rather than just CROSS.

Thank you. Applied to linux-cpupower for my next full request to
Rafael.

Since this is a bug fix, any chance you can fast track that change so we
can keep on building that tool in various environments?
Thanks

I am planning to send pull request to Rafael later on today.
It will be available in linux-next once Rafael pulls it in.
I don't think if it can be fast tracked with the vacations
and holidays for the past 3 weeks or so. The best I can do
is getting this into linux-next
thanks,
