Sometimes this is just a missing symlink, even when you do have a crosstoolchain installed (from arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc to arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-4.x) > Looking through the repository, it looks like I need to install > gcc:armhf.

You want one that runs on amd64, but produces code for arm. That would be gcc-4.7-arm-linux-gnueabihf:amd64 > So, can someone please help a noob with what I need to install to be > able to compile the kernel? Cross-toolchains for debian are not yet in the archive, and the emdebian ones are broken on wheezy (SFAIK), so its a bit of a mess at the moment. This set (ubuntu cross-toolchain rebuild for debian) work on unstable, and may install OK on wheezy: http://www.lrc.ic.unicamp.br/~alkmim/debian/repository/ubuntu-armhf-crosstoolchain/ There are useful docs I should point you at, and actually check what is/isn;t working today.
