Host is the thing you are compiling it at ...

should be ... 'CC      = $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc', see below, others DTTO

yeah ... CROSS_COMPILE is set to the cross-toolchain prefix ... so in your case 
it should be 'CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-', that's all, nothing else. It's the same 
with linux kernel etc.

Nothing ?

Yes, it builds what it can according to the setup of your kernel ... eg. you 
wont be able to use chips connected over the ac97 interface if there's no driver 
for the ac97 interface in your kernel etc.
