[parisc-linux] cross-compiling the kernel?

[Brion Vibber]

I'm interested in cross-compiling as well... we've got a 735/125 running
only MkLinux, no HPUX, and I can rarely get _anything_ to build right on
it even if I don't mind the slowness.

But we do have some nice fast x86 Linux boxes. I tried to compile the 
binutils out of CVS on one of them, but it crapped out with complaints
about missing SOM stuff, looks like:

gcc -g -O2 -o size size.o bucomm.o version.o filemode.o ../bfd/.libs/libbfd.a ../libiberty/libiberty.a
../bfd/.libs/libbfd.a(targets.o): In function `find_target':
/usr/local/gizmo/brion/src/parisc/binutils-build/bfd/../../
binutils/bfd/targets.c:885: undefined reference to `som_vec'
/usr/local/gizmo/brion/src/parisc/binutils-build/bfd/../../
binutils/bfd/targets.c:885: undefined reference to `som_vec'

Won't be easy to compile a kernel without binutils... Will this have to
wait until the SOM linker is finished, or can I work around that somehow
in the meantime?
