Hi Volker,

Glad to see you fix and clean up the devkit scripts! And you're more 
than welcome to add documentation to the building.md.


I think all your changes are good, and can go in as-is, but I see some 
further potential for cleanup, so if you feel like some more fixes while 
you're at it, please go ahead. Otherwise you can ignore the rest of what 
I'm writing. :)

For consistency, maybe we should rename cross_compile_target to TARGET? 
At least as written on the make command line; you can keep the 
cross_compile_target name in the Makefile itself, and only assign to it 
from TARGET.

Maybe it's time to rename this to something more distro-agnostic than 
OEL_URL...

I really like this! Devkits are much more better described as X-to-Y 
(even if that was not originally the case, as Erik said).

Is it still worth the effort of compiling ccache? At least in Oracle, 
we're not using it anymore. OTOH, if it works, we can just keep it 
there. It's no big cost.

Looks like you could always to RPM_ARCHS := $(ARCH) noarch, and then use 
+= for the few platforms that need additionals RPM archs.

There was something more I thought of when I reviewed your changes, but 
it slipped my mind now.
