make depend error - libl

[Aditya Godbole]

Hi,
1. I'm trying to compile the ppc kernel. I've taken the GENERIC config
and running make depend stops in the aic7xxx/aicasm directory. The
error is that the linker cannot find libl.
This seems to be a userspace program. Can I bypass this step while
compiling the kernel? Otherwise, how can I fix it? I am running fbsd 6
on an i386.
2. How can I setup a complete crosscompile environment including the
cross compiled libc and other libraries?
