I have set the path for cross compiler properly in make file even then the compilation failed. Then we tried adding parameter " -Tcfe.ld" (which is must for compilation) in compilation command (as has been suggested by broadcom) still unble to get it done correctly. Wondering what else we need to change in make file. Or else is there any other cross compiler for BCM 1480 (than specifix one) that we can use. Anyone suggest me the proper way for compiling the kernel with the above cross compiler. 

As posted nobody can help you because you forgot to mention what kind of
error you're seeing, what compiler you're using etc.

Aside of that, 2.4.16 is The Jurassic Kernel.  The thing is now almost
5 years old and I recommend ritually burrying of a hardcopy on the compost
pile in the garden.  Make sure no kernel hacker is watching ;-)
