can crosstool cross-compile Any kernel or specific one ?

[Claus Gindhart]

Niral,

Yes !
look into the Kernel Makefile, and you will recognize, that its already prepared for Cross-Compiling.

Just create a small script, which exports the variable CROSS_COMPILE and ARCH, e.g.
------------8-<------------
export CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/crosstool/powerpc-e300-linux-gnu/gcc-3.4.1-glibc-2.3.3/bin/powerpc-e300-linux-gnu-
export ARCH=ppc
------------8-<------------
After sourcing this script, you can use all the kernel Make-features for your cross-compile environment.

Additionally, you might want to export INSTALL_PATH and INSTALL_MOD_PATH, which defines, where Kernel image and modules should be installed.

I have installed crosstool from kegel.com in /opt/crosstool dictionary.

Now here my question is
" Can I cross compile any kernel from this cross tool or any specific kernel " ?
