[ale] Kernel cross compilation

[Matt Hessel]

you can refer here to an example on the Raspberry PI

http://elinux.org/RPi_Kernel_Compilation

The best way to compile is to use cross compilation on ubuntu or similar.
 The ending kernel isn't really any different than if you compiled it on
the PI, just doesn't take 7 hours.

This is because you have to download the libraries for the architecture and
use it in the compilation process.
