Upstream sources are unified among the arches, and support cross compiling. I do not believe debian kernel package supports cross compiling. To cross-compile, install the cross toolchain, and then configure with ARCH=arm make nconfig and set CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE="arm-linux-gnueabi-" or CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE="arm-linux-gnueabihf-" depending on which toolchain you installed (i believe they are equal when it comes to compiling the kernel, but I am not sure, I have always compiled with the "gnueabi" one. > > Richard > > -- -Shawn Landden -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
