Just an fyi,

The cross-compiler packages of the emdebian project in the unstable (aka, "sid")
distribution have broken dependencies.

So the instructions here
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/Shuah_Khan_cross_compile_linux.pdf
and here
http://linuxdriverproject.org/mediawiki/index.php/Cross-compiling_Linux_kernel_on_x86_64#Installation_Steps
are no longer applicable.
