Woow, that's shorter than mine :-)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MAKEARGS = ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=ppu- CC="ppu-gcc43 -m32 -mcpu=440"

MAKEFLAGS += --no-print-directory

.PHONY: all $(MAKECMDGOALS)

all	:= $(filter-out all Makefile,$(MAKECMDGOALS))

all:
	$(MAKE) $(MAKEARGS) $(all) -f Makefile

Makefile:;

$(all) %/: all
	@:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note that in this example I also have to override CC, as (1) ppu-gcc is gcc
version 4.1.1, i.e. too old and (2) ppu-gcc43 defaults to -m64 and -mcpu=cell.

Indeed, putting everything in .config would be more convenient.
