I did hit similar thing with arm cross compile recently, the values
provided in the 'config/arm/arm64_armv8_linux_gcc' doesn't match with
the cross compiler I installed, so had to update it manually.
Not sure if it is possible to cover all options, or should we add a
config file to cover each case, perhaps we can document it and go with
common values.
