If you want to compile a ppc kernel on x86, you need a cross compile
environment (compiler,linker,as,..).
I try to compile a kernel on my ibook for the Motorola, but
it doesn't boot. I don't know if it's possible to build it natively
without cross compilation.
Doesn't boot, means I get a stack exception ...
Kernelversion: 2.4.20-rc4-ben0
...

Anyone an idea or a working .config I can use to build
a new kernel for the 604e ppc machine?
