The kernel makefile does the same as all other makefiles and works fine.
It does NOT use the env, since make generally doesn't. it does work
this way though:
make HOSTCC=gcc-3.4 CC=gcc-3.4 menuconfig
Add V=1 if you want to see what commands it is running.
That is the _correct_ way to pass parameters to make and also how
make-kpkg does it (through the variable MAKEFLAGS it uses for exactly that
purpose)
