Follow the directions on my web page in the section "Building the kernel:",

   http://www.mvista.com/products/405gp_status/main.html

(This URL is likely to change in the next few days, I'll send out an announcement when
it does.)

After getting the .config, you need to

  make oldconfig
  make dep
  make one of the kernel targets

Please use "make menuconfig" instead of "make xconfig".  The last time I checked,
make xconfig generates incorrect results for the 405gp.  Fixing it to work is on
my to-do list.

Note that the web page points you to the May 3 kernel.  There is a new kernel as of
June 29, but I haven't announced it yet since I haven't updated the web page.
