I'm trying to build an x66-64 kernel on a 32 bit system (Ubuntu 5.10).
I added -m64 to the CFLAGS as per the gcc docs. But the build fails

Unless ubuntu provides a biarch toolchain (and the fact gcc accepts
'-m64' means nothing - use 'file' on init/built-in.o), you have to build
a cross toolchain, (just binutils and gcc), put that on your path, and
use
make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-
so that the build will use x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-as and friends. You
should not need to mess with the CFLAGS.
