sysutils/u-boot-beaglebone-eabi port fails to build

[Tim Kientzle]

The following needs to be added to the build commands in the Makefile:

     HOSTCC=cc

As Jeroen pointed out, without this the U-Boot build system tries to use ‘gcc’ unconditionally to build the pieces that run on the build host.  Those pieces do not specifically require any GCC-specific features, so they should use ‘cc’ to use whatever native compiler is available.

Apologies for this being broken for so long…  Not sure when I’ll get back to it…  if anyone wants to take over this port, please be my guest.
