Either download a LFS LiveCD (even the x86 version - the 64-bit kernel is named "linux64" there), or follow the initial binutils and gcc instructions in CLFS. The resulting gcc is able to cross-compile a 64-bit kernel (make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu- menuconfig && make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-).
And if you don't want to download anything big and/or waste the CPU time, here is a pre-made 64-bit kernel that, however, doesn't support your hardware without initramfs: http://ums.usu.ru/~patrakov/test/linux64 Just add it to GRUB menu. -- Alexander E.
