or out of tree kernel modules.

 Some tips:
 * PATH now contains the SDK utilities
 * Standard autotools variables (CC, LD, CFLAGS) are exported
+* Kernel compilation variables (ARCH, CROSS_COMPILE, KERNELDIR) are exported
 * To configure do "./configure $CONFIGURE_FLAGS" or use
   the "configure" alias
 * To build CMake-based projects, use the "cmake" alias
