You actually don't need documentation...
at least i did not.

i just got the kernel source from cvs at oss.sgi.com
then i did "make vmlinux.ecoff" and after some long time (my indy runs
at 100 MHz) i ended up with a new kernel.

You need the same development packages (gcc etc.) as you do with x86

Greetings,
Erich
