kernel compile, build machine?
hello all!
i am currently in progress of installing potato 2.2r6 on a 64MB RAM,
4GB + 240 MB disk storage (with 500MB dedicated to macos 8.0).
it has has a 040 processor running at 30mhz, and it has a proper fpu
and mmu(i have run succesfully the debian2.2r0 installer). As i am a
huge fan of the 2.4 kernel series, which in my opinion is really
faster and as stable as the 2.2 series, i will want to have a current
2.4 kernel on it. but the compilation on this machine would take DAYS
and i'd like to do it as fast as possible(no longer than 2 days) and i
unfortunately can't have the machien working at night, so i want to do
a kernel cross-compilation on my 686 machine. it is running
debian-sid, with a 2.4.18 kernel.
my question is, how to achieve such a cross compilation:) some time
ago, i have compiled gcc 2.95.3 with support for cross compilation for
m68k and sparc, everything went fine. the problem is binutils,
actually the as assembler- although binutils where compiled for all
platforms, (it was a long time ago, i might have forgotten something)
as could assemble only one platform at a time. and if it was m68k, it
just didn't work. i would really appreciate it, if it would be
possible, to have the solution in a deb file, so i can keep my machine
tidy:)
also, as i don't have any specific uses for the machine, i would
really love it to help the linux/m68k world- especially as build
machine.
