Why not just down load raspian, m mount the image and copy out the kernel? 
You'll need the image anyway. 

I'm running a couple of pis here,  as a fire wall,  and nas / media server, I 
could just email you the files, but that seems kinda silly. :-)

The raspian repo seems to be fairly complete though,  I've done all sorts of 
things with em and not had to go to source yet. 

Cheers,  Chris H

Subject: [Linux-users] Building a Raspberry Pi compatible .deb package  without
  a Raspberry Pi 

Hullo! I hope you're all fine.

Someone's asked me to provide a Raspbianized binary package of a piece
of software I maintain. Figuring it's likely doable with QEMU, I said
I'd give it a try.

Google shows that emulating a Pi in QEMU is definitely a thing, but
requires a kernel image that I haven't been able to track down.
Everything points to instructions on a site that's gone awol:
https://xecdesign.com/compiling-a-kernel/

But it occurs to me that I probably don't need to emulate a Pi at all.
I can probably get away with running an arm version of Debian on QEMU
and making the the .deb package with that.

So, before spending too much more time on it, I thought I'd ask you
guys if that'd be a workable approach.

Thanks :^)

Tim
