Depends on the distro you are using however if you are using Debian the 
'official' approach would be to use emdebian-tools to roll your own 
toolchain; this however I found broken when I tinkered with it a month ago.

If you do not mind installing pre-alien'ed RPM packages on your box then:

http://www.freaknet.org/martin/crosstool/packages/

I downloaded:

http://www.freaknet.org/martin/crosstool/packages/arm-crosstool-linux-gnueabi-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5-crosstool_0.42-1_i686.deb

Afterwards all you need is the alias in your shell:

alias amake='make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-crosstool-linux-gnueabi-'

Then type 'amake' instead of 'make' to cross compile your kernel.

Alternatively, if you are not so bothered about EABI, then a good APT source:

Cheers

Alex
