Let me summarize....  Here is what I tell my students:

host$ *sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi*
host$ *git clone 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git 
<http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git> 
~/linux-src*
host$* git clone  https://github.com/RobertCNelson/bb-kernel.git*
host$ cd bb-kernel
host$ *git tab  *(This shows what versions are available)
host$ *git checkout 3.8.13-bone60 -b v**3.8.13-bone60*
host$ *./build_kernel.sh*

If we don't edit system.sh is it able to figure out what cross compilers to 
use and how to set ZRELADDR?

host$ *./dpkg_check.sh *
trusty
ii  libncurses5-dev:amd64
