I tested this patch but it breaks the "make install" command:

  $ make install T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
  make[5]: Nothing to be done for 'depdirs'.
  Configuration done
  rte.sdkbuild.mk:34: *** "Cannot use T= with a build/clean target".

As the T= argument is given as a command line variable, it is
propagated to the "$(MAKE) all" in rte.sdkinstall.mk.
So I think it's better to keep the current code as is, except if
you have a better idea.

Regards,
Olivier
