OK, brilliant. Apparently the only way to do this is
to install the
"toolchain-source" package and, yep, BUILD A TOOLCHAIN FROM SOURCE.
Sorry for being slow, but it was sleeping time here in Germany. :-)
Just for the records (You took the thread to debian-amd64 further down
the road):
You don't need a full toolchain for compiling kernel stuff, binutils and
gcc are enough. The kernel doesn't link against glibc. :-)
You could install binutils and gcc into a temporary directory (let's say
/tmp/cross), put /tmp/cross/bin in front of $PATH and you are set.
This way you can just rm -rf /tmp/cross if you want to get rid of it
again.
I am not subscribed to debian-amd64 so I don't know if you were
successful already, but if you want I can send you my script I use for
this kind of tasks per PM.
Christ, I cannot believe what a pain in the ass this
is. At this rate
it will have taken me 2 days to get this working.
I don't think so. Setting up a full toolchain may take a bit longer, but
for compiling kernels you really just need the easy part of it.
