I extracted the tarfile to /usr/local/bin end executed "kmake menuconfig". Everything seemed fine so far. But a few seconds after starting the compilation (kmake bzImage) I got this error message: In file included from <snip> ... <snip> include/asm/mpspec.h:6:25: mach_mpspec.h: No such file or directory Hm. I understand why that file cannot be found: It only exists in the asm-i386 directory. But why does the compilation process look for a file that belongs to i386, but not to x86_64?
