That is a native build. (The main Debian architecture on those build servers is armhf, but they can run an armel chroot as the kernel ABI is the same.) > I am looking at > https://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-official > > In particular trying to do > > fakeroot make -f debian/rules.gen binary-arch_armel_none > > but that doesn't seem work (gcc-5 command not found?) under jessie - > now looking at under stretch... > > But I think I am straying too far from the beaten track and hitting > lots of problems - hence the question about where information on what > people are normally doing to cross build the kernel using debian > packages. Using the stretch branch you should use something like: dpkg-buildpackage -Pcross,nopython -aarmel -B -uc -us I got that working (except with armhf as the target) a few months back. You can also add 'notools' to the -P option if you don't need the userland packages; this will reduce the build-dependencies.
