cross building linux-image packages

[Andrew Worsley <amworsley@gmail.com>]

Can some one direct me to information on how to cross build debian
kernel packages?

I tried using pbuilder (based off
https://jodal.no/2015/03/08/building-arm-debs-with-pbuilder/) but ->
qemu-arm-static has bugs (segmentation faults - possibly
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=811087

which blocks that path.

But I see that buildd (
https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=linux&arch=armel )
apparently works some how.

I am looking at
https://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-official

In particular trying to do

  fakeroot make -f debian/rules.gen binary-arch_armel_none

but that doesn't seem work  (gcc-5 command not found?) under jessie -
now looking at under stretch...

But I think I am straying too far from the beaten track and hitting
lots of problems - hence the question about where information on what
people are normally doing to cross build the kernel using debian
packages.
