It was a few years ago. I had the crosstool chain setup on a debian linux 
box. These are notes I made at the time....


uncompress and untar the latest linux24.tgz from the web site

Then edit the linux24/Makefile....

  ....
  HOSTCC          = gcc
  HOSTCFLAGS      = -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer
  CROSS_COMPILE = 
/usr/local/opt/crosstool/arm-linux/gcc-3.3.2-glibc-2.3.2/bin/arm-linux-
  ....

  HOSTCC is what to use to compile the programs needed on the development
            host.

  HOSTCFLAGS are the flags to use when compiling host executables.

  CROSS_COMPILE variable is used as a prefix to the cross compiler tools
            when actually building the kernel.

Then these.......

  make ts7200_config
  make oldconfig
  make menuconfig
  make dep
  make zImage

          new kernel in    linux24/arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux

  make modules
  INSTALL_MOD_PATH=`pwd`/modules make modules_install

          puts modules in  linux24/modules
