I think so I want a kernel that will work with win4lin or vmware, 2.2.16
appears to have issues with both so am attempting to build 2.2.17 with
patches.

then you need to edit both

now have:

HOSTCC = kgcc

but for CC, primary reference seems to be in code block:

CROSS_COMPILE   =

AS      =$(CROSS_COMPILE)as
LD      =$(CROSS_COMPILE)ld
CC      =$(CROSS_COMPILE)cc -D__KERNEL__ -I$(HPATH)
CPP     =$(CC) -E
AR      =$(CROSS_COMPILE)ar
NM      =$(CROSS_COMPILE)nm
STRIP   =$(CROSS_COMPILE)strip
OBJCOPY =$(CROSS_COMPILE)objcopy
OBJDUMP =$(CROSS_COMPILE)objdump
MAKE    =make
GENKSYMS=/sbin/genksyms

and I don't see what I need to change this to
