+Subject: [PATCH] pflash: Allow building under yocto.
+
+The makefiles under external/* utilize the $(CROSS_COMPILE) variable
+to determine the cross-compiler prefix.  In a few places,
+$(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc is called instead of $(CC).  The issue with this is
+that yocto build passes some compile flags as part of $(CC) instead of
+$(CFLAGS), the most important of these is '--sysroot=...'.  Without the
+proper --sysroot flag, pflash compile fails to find critical libc
+headers like stdio.h.
+
+This change delegates setting of $(CC) and $(LD) to
+external/common/rules.mk, which is widely used in the external tree, and
+ensures that:
+    1) $(CC) is used instead of $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc.
+    2) CC is only set when not passed from the environment.
+
