You should start with your old kernel. Build it with the old gcc with ELF
support added. That is, build the kernel as a.out but with ELF support.
Now you can install the new gcc (seems to me you need some shared
libraries like libc5 and others. Check out the docs in the upgrades
directory). You should now be able to build a new kernel in ELF format.
Hope this helps,
