So what does that actually mean for the compilation process?

I found, after failing to build an amd64-k8 kernel with gcc 3.3, that
using gcc 3.4 did no better.

Do I need to do anything 'different' during the kernel build to make it
build an amd64-k8 kernel?

I'm currently doing this:

make-kpkg clean
make menuconfig (setting pc-arch/amd64/k8 etc.)
make-kpkg kernel_image

This results in the i686 kernel I described previously.

Do I need to give further options to the above kernel-building commands
to make it produce an amd64-k8 version?

Dave.
