It's actually pretty simple these days as the kernel.org mirrors provide binary distributions of freestanding toolchains for all major supported architectures of the Linux kernel. To set up on any x86_64 machine, do the following: # wget https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/files/bin/x86_64/14.2.0/x86_64-gcc-14.2.0-nolibc-sparc64-linux.tar.gz # tar xf x86_64-gcc-14.2.0-nolibc-sparc64-linux.tar.gz # export PATH=$PATH:$PWD/gcc-14.2.0-nolibc/sparc64-linux/bin/ # git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git # cd linux # export ARCH=sparc # export CROSS_COMPILE=sparc64-linux- # make sparc64_defconfig # make -j<number of parallel jobs> The cross-compiled kernel will be available as "vmlinux".
