It's true that kernel 2.2 will only compile for the ARM as ELF. However, you _must_ apply rmk's patches to make it work. They can be found on ftp.arm.linux.org.uk in /pub/armlinux/kernel-sources/v2.2/ I'm not sure that such a patched kernel will then compile for other architectures; it used not to but I haven't tried this in a while.
Note that you need a recent egcs too.
