A few weeks ago, I set up a cross-compiling environment too. My aim was to compile a Linux/PPC kernel under OpenBSD/i386 (crazy enough, I know :) ). What I did was the following (IIRC): 1. Download binutils sources (I used stock 2.11.2). ./configure --prefix=$HOME/cross --target=ppc-linux ; make ; make install. 2. Download gcc-core-2.95.3.tar.gz (or, at your option, any newer version) from gcc.gnu.org. export PATH=$HOME/cross/bin:$PATH ; ./configure --prefix=$HOME/cross --target=ppc-linux --with-newlib ; make ; make install. 3. In the linux kernel source tree, edit main Makefile: The 'ARCH' line has to read: "ARCH = ppc" (or, in your case, m68k). gmake xconfig (it is necessary under OpenBSD to use gmake -- under Debian GNU/Linux you just use make) ; gmake dep clean zImage. This was simple enough, and it worked fine, though I had expected it not to ;-). --benny.
