Setting environment variables to build linux kernel. [message #725535]

I've setup a CDT project in Eclipse to work with the linux kernel, using the existing Makefile.

From CLI I would build like this:
ARCH=arm && export ARCH
PATH=/opt/toolchains/arm/bin:$PATH
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi- uImage

I've tried to setup these environment variables in Build Variables for my project, but it won't work. What is the proper way to do this? I suspect setting it in /etc/profile will work, but I don't want this always enabled.
