Hi, I think the issue is how the kernel build system invokes the compiler. make-kpkg does not itself set the CC variable for submakes, and since the process ismake-kpkg calls make to build the .deb, and in the build target a sub make is invoked to call the kernel build process, not all variables set in the env of make-kpkg are passed down to the sub make.
The man page shows how to pass the CC variable down to the sub-make process in which the kernel is built, perhaps you could try that? manoj -- RELATIVES!!
