It's the same as on Intel, really, except that the kernel image
produced is /usr/src/linux/vmlinux instead of
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage or whatever. You can then
compress vmlinux yourself, if you want.

Don't forget to include an appropriate frame buffer if you want the
console to work.

Use egcs, not gcc-2.7.2.3. (Hey, gcc-2.95 is due in about a week
anyway ...)
