I'd recommend the method described at
http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Debian/BuildImage (although it may
need some small changes for 2.6.26).

The cross compiler from Emdebian works for me.  Add
  deb http://www.emdebian.org/debian/ unstable main
and install:
  apt-get install libc6-armel-cross libc6-dev-armel-cross binutils-arm-linux-gnueabi gcc-4.1-arm-linux-gnueabi
(this is for armel).
