Hi,
I was unable to "hack" for some days due to day-job. I have seen Frank
and others have done a great deal.
Still, I wanted to try my own compilation, as a first attempt and also
to build and be able to check eventual patches myself.

I think these instructions are still valid:

You can also skip the Debian-specific stuff and simply do
make -j8 && make modules_install && make install
It's better to use at least a compatible kernel config, though.
I cloned linux stable. It took 60 minutes...
I took the config out of /boot/config of a good kernel, updated it with
"make oldconfig"
During compilation I see:
CC init/init_task.o
make[1]: *** No rule to make target
'debian/certs/debian-uefi-certs.pem', needed by
'certs/x509_certificate_list'. Stop.
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
It took 134 minutes to build with -j32. So well, compiling is not the
strongest point of this CPU, but not so bad either.

I actually wonder if the kernel is not "overconfigured" ? building
things like nouveau make sense on SPARC? I wonder.. maybe sticking a
PCI-e card would work in a Netra or Fire?
but I can't install:
multix@narya:~/code/linux-stable$ sudo make modules_install
sed: can't read modules.order: No such file or directory
I wonder if it is related with the error above?
Thanks,
Riccardo
