In the powerpc archives, available here: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.ports.powerpc?hl=en you might want to search for exactly these topics between April 8 through 15 this year, where compile questions were discussed in great detail, partly ad nauseam: applying patch Compile errors Patching 2.6.11.7 to 2.6.12-rc2 Building packages and compiler flags Recompile a driver, without recompiling the whole kernel I don't know whether there are specific compiler flags necessary for ppc64, but I'd think they're not, simply because gcc might probably realise the system (ppc64) automatically anyway ... Am I right?
