Like "make zImage" or make "bzImage".Then i tried "make kernel", but after few seconds the error 127 occurs (?????).Something like "sparc64-linux-gcc: command not found" appeared on the screen.I tried different kernels, from 2.2.1 to 2.2.10.Ergo, always the same error occurs.Waht am i doing wrong ?

While I am a bit farther along than you are, I have not yet completed a
kernel compile either.
You need the egcs64 package to have the correct compiler (that looks like
what is missing for you), however the compiler in slink has major problems
with the 2.2.7 kernel source. I have done somewhat better by installing
egcs64, libc6, and libc6-dev from potato, at least it can now find its
linker scripts.
I am currently using egcs64 version 19990402-2, and libc6 version 2.1.1-9
and compiling a stock 2.2.7 kernel yields:
In file included from ioctl32.c:29:
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/if_ppp.h:88: field 'mode' has incomplete type
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/if_ppp.h:100: field 'stats' has incomplete
type
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/if_ppp.h:105: field 'stats' has incomplete
type
followed by more warnings from ioctl32.c
Why is a 64 bit build calling a 32 bit piece of code?
Let me know if you do any better than this?
Thanks,
Dwarf
