scripts: unset CONFIG_SITE

Some distributions (eg. openSUSE 12.1) systematically export
the CONFIG_SITE environment variable to point to a custom
script setting misc paths for ./configure.

This can, and does, break when cross-compiling for architectures
that are not supported by this script.

The simple workaround is to unset this variable.
NB: buildroot has a similar fix:

     3 reporter_comment="This is a sample config file for Freescale e500v2 processors (e.g., MPC8548,
     4 MPC8572). It uses eglibc (for e500/SPE patches) and a recent gcc (4.6.0,
     5 for e500v2 DPFP support) and will generate appropriate dual-precision
     6 floating point instructions by default.

     8 Note: If building a Linux kernel with this toolchain, you will want to make
     9 sure -mno-spe AND -mspe=no are passed to gcc to prevent SPE ABI/instructions
    10 from getting into the kernel (which is currently unsupported). At this time,
    11 the kernel build system properly passes those two options, but older kernels
    12 were only passing -mno-spe by default."
