I have three systems that I need to build.
2.4.x linux source for x86
2.6.10 linux source for x86 and 2.6.10 linux source for PPC
Right now I have three PC's setup that I build each one of these on. So that way my toolchain and libs are all the right ones.
Well what I really want to do is have a "build" machine and build all of them from that machine.
I don't need anyone to tell me how to do this, but I'm having a hard time finding any good howto's on how to do this. Especially the x86. The cross-compiler stuff is pretty easy for the PPC.
My big issues are which "switches" to use for setting the include paths (both libs and includes) and where to set those switches.

I'm no expert on cross compilation, but had recently compiled 2.4 and 2.6 kernels on the same machine. For acccomplishing this, I built and ran multiple versions of gcc (2.4 would not compile on gcc 3.4.4). Some of the links I found handy were :-
