Bug Description

Currently to cross compile the linux-linaro-mx51 package one needs to turn off do_tools in debian.linaro/rules.d/armel.mk:
sed -i -e 's/do_tools.*=.*/do_tools = false/' debian.linaro/rules.d/armel.mk

It would be fantastic if that were not the case.

it would be good to be able to build tools, in the mean time you could test whether we are cross-compiling and override do_tools to false; for instance debian/rules currently does that for DEB_STAGE = stage1, we could do this for ifneq ($(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE),$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE)) in debian/rules.d/0-common-vars.mk, where CROSS_COMPILE is set.

This is fixed in the latest ubuntu packaging so newer kernels should build fine. Tools are still _NOT_ built when cross compiling but the packaging auto detects the cross case and turns off tools.
