Compile Penguin PPC for x386?

Is the i386 arch vaguely up to date in the PPC tree?  Does it work?

I mean, if I want to debug some driver that doesn't need actual
hardware (maybe dummy out actual HW banging), can I swap over to
building an i386 kernel?  It would be nice to be using the same
kernel.

If I can do that, how?  In Makefile I changed "ARCH" to i386, changed
"CROSS_COMPILE" to be nothing, did a "make mrproper", copied in a
.config from my Red Hat install, defaulted everything asked by "make
oldconfig", did "make dep", and "make bzImage".

But then it chokes on some problem in include/linux/highmem.h (48:
parse error before `0').

Should this work?


Thanks,

We use to just pull out the section in the ifndef and things would
work on the 386, but then at some point the 386 kernel would just
hang. I have not been doing any builds recently so I have no idea
how things are going now.
