Do you know how to do it on workstation  machines, maybe it works the same
way?
or can anyone point me to HW/tech docs for these machines?

OK, looks like I have two PA8000's.  I apt-get upgraded to unstable and
d/l'ed the latest kernel tar.gz.  
I'm getting an error trying to compile a 64 bit SMP kernel:
make[1]: hppa64-linux-gcc: Command not found
on, I guess, the first call to the compiler when I do 'make dep';
my make is:
ii  make                3.79.1-12           The GNU version of the "make"
utility.
my gcc is:
ii  gcc                 3.0.4-2             The GNU C compiler.

Do I need to mess with a makefile so it knows what the right compiler is?
Do I need to get an different version of gcc for 64-bit hppa?

Thanks!
