+    cc-cross-prefix
+        cc-cross-prefix is used to check if there exist a $(CC) in path with
+        one of the listed prefixes. The first prefix where there exist a
+        prefix$(CC) in the PATH is returned - and if no prefix$(CC) is found
+        then nothing is returned.
+        Additional prefixes are separated by a single space in the
+        call of cc-cross-prefix.
+        This functionality is usefull for architecture Makefile that try
+        to set CROSS_COMPILE to well know values but may have several
+        values to select between.
+        It is recommended only to try to set CROSS_COMPILE is it is a cross
+        build (host arch is different from target arch). And is CROSS_COMPILE
+        is already set then leave it with the old value.
+
+        Example:
+                #arch/m68k/Makefile
+                ifneq ($(SUBARCH),$(ARCH))
+                        ifeq ($(CROSS_COMPILE),)
+                               CROSS_COMPILE := $(call cc-cross-prefix, m68k-linux-gnu-)
