Erm, I don't know of an official way.  For kernel builds your technique
will work fine.  For user programs, it's necessary for the makefiles to be
able to find both the host and the target C compilers.  I use the
following script, called arm26make, which works for me, but is a bit of a
kludge:

Obviously, some of the paths will need changing for other people.
