I thought that was covered by:
Cross compiling the binaries in scripts/* is not possible
because various makefiles assume that $(obj)/whatever is
executable on the build host.
ie, we can cross build the kernel but not fixdep, conf or mk_elfconfig
since those are assumed to be runnable for the kernel build, meaning
they can't be deployed onto a target system without hoop jumping.
