Well, my intension is what you described later. But I though of compiling
with native gcc rather then trying directly with a cross compiler. Basically
I am working on a windows machine and trying to debug linux kernel on a
linux machine (remote debugging).
If it is giving problem with native compiler then it is going to give
problem with cross compiler also. Isn't it?
