All debian tools? Mix of debian and upstream? My only run-in with the problem was with 32-bit kernels cross compiled from x86. Though lately I'm using a gcc-3.1 based XC and it builds functional 64-bit kernels. This is definately becoming one of those HPPA urban legends. I shall add it to my TODO list and verify that I can build a 32/64-bit kernel natively and cross with all the latest upstream cvs bits. c.
