Basically, you need a cross-compiler and then you can get the
linux-2.6 source package and build it. http://www.emdebian.org/ has

It would probably be easier to just tell me which options you want
enabled and I'll do it in the Debian package. The options definitely
need some tuning so your feedback is welcome.
