Actually, you don't. Have you tried toolchain-source? It is a nice debian
package, but you can have only one set of cross-compilers installed at a
time and there never was a version for gcc-2.95. So no 2.4 kernels for you.
I am not sure if the cross compiler is actually able to compile kernels for
m68k, but with crosstools you can mix and match compiler, binutils and
libc6, ie use binutils-2.15.91.0.2 or 2.15.96 if you want to build kernel
images. The toolchain-source package has probably the latest debian patches
included to build usable binutils, and there is a patch with which you can
build older versions of gcc. With crosstool you can build a new or old gcc
as soon as the upstream version is out, no need to wait for a maintainer to
upload.
For crosscompiling for palm however, toolchain-source is great ;-)
