crossgcc: Improve compatibility of the toolchain across host systems
crossgcc builds gmp, whose build system normally optimises for the hardware
it's built on. That may give a minor performance boost but has the downside
that the compiler becomes non-portable and may break on other systems due to
illegal instructions.
Setting CFLAGS to some reasonable value prevents gmp's configure script from
choosing CPU specific -mtune flags (which may enable optimizations that only
run on CPUs with the same feature set).
Enabling "fat" builds make the build system add all optimized assembler
routines and makes the selection of the right one a runtime decision instead
of deciding at compile time.
