-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 You first either get a pre-compiled tool chain, or you build your own, which is not as bad as it sounds, just be sure you have a very fast system, and have something else to do while your machine does its thing. Now, assuming you wanted to for example go through make config for the x86_64 architecture, you'd do: make ARCH=x86_64 config Doing make modules, and make modules_install would go the same way. As for building the actual kernel, that seems to differ from target to target. For some targets, you do make linux, for others you do make, and probably for some you do something else. Someone once told me that the tool chain that comes with modern gnu/linux distributions is ready to cross-compile for all other supported targets, but I don't know if that's true or not. Hth.
