If you set the CROSS_COMPILE variable to the full path of the gcc executable
including the prefix, like e.g. CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/gcc-cross/bin/i386-linux-
(don't forget the trailing dash, the tool names are simply appended to this
string!), and ARCH to the target arch, ARCH=i386, _and_ have a cross
toolchain installed, this should compile with no problem.
I compiled for a PowerPC (ARCH=ppc) with a toolchain generated for usage in
a x86 32-bit environment. It was a combination of gcc and glibc. I set
CROSS_COMPILE and ARCH like above, did "make oldconfig; make zImage" and
everything went A OK with this setup, so it should clearly run x86_64 -> x86
. But where to get a cross toolchain from? I generate mine myself, but are
there any precompiled ones for Debian in special? I don't know. It might be
simpler to install a chroot, I guess. I did so, was no big deal, runs great
- the HOWTO explains it clearly.
With kind regards,
