It might be easier to just add the compiler, make your kernel, and then
remove it. Rather than get a working cross build environment going on
an i386 machine. Make note of all the packages installed and remove
them afterwards. Or you could just create a chroot environment with all
the packages installed, and when you're done, you could tar that up and
save it on the i386 machine before deleting it off the "secure" machine.
