Nack for this patch. It is totally unnecessary. I misunderstood how
the the variables were passed from enviroment by debuild. Thanks Loic.

You should be able to simply setup the toolchain and use something like:

debuild -eCROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-
--prepend-path=$HOME/work/toolchains/arm-2008q3/bin -b -aarmel
