Re: i386 -> x86_64 cross compile failure (binutils bug?)

It seems like CROSS_COMPILE= should not be needed if my standard gcc

build an x86-64 kernel using the Ubuntu packages and that I would not
have to resort to building my own toolchain.  And it seems that it's
supposed to work, but doesn't.

Last time I used it, crosstool was painless, but I guess you'd prefer this link to x86 cross-compilers that akpm posted the other month: http://developer.osdl.org/dev/plm/cross_compile/

(I haven't tried the x86_64 version there, but the powerpc64 worked a treat).
