mips-linux-gcc and make-kpkg

[Nick Golder <purenrg@hiveportal.net>]

I am working on building a new kernel (2.4.19) for my Indy R5000 running
Woody and am having a few problems.

When running 'make menuconfig' I get:
/bin/sh: mips-linux-gcc: command not found

When running make-kpkg I get:

test -f stamp-configure || /usr/bin/make -f
/usr/share/kernel-package/rules configure
/usr/bin/make    ARCH=mips \
                     boot
/bin/sh: mips-linux-gcc: command not found

make[1]: *** [init/main.o] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/linux-2.4.19'
make: *** [stamp-build] Error 2

Any suggestions?
TIA
