Yes, this make sense to me. It's not clear to me why we ever needed
the conditional assignment of an empty CROSS_COMPILE (that code predates
the start of git history) but clearly having two "?=" assignments one
after another cannot work -- the second assignment to CROSS_COMPILE will
never do anything, since the line before makes CROSS_COMPILE defined.
