That's a good thing in some ways and a bad thing in others.  Having
it guarantee to fail if you try installing an ARM kernel onto an
x86 machine is definitely a good thing.  That said, it's not something
I've ever accidentally done.

However, having a cross-built kernel shared via NFS onto the target
machine where you want to 'make install' it and have it pick up the
CROSS_COMPILE setting is a bad thing.

I'm not sure there's any one right answer with this... so...
