Found the solution :-)
Sent to the list in case anyone else is scratching his head:

Quoted from an earlier post by Jason Costomiris To get my kernel compile
(2.2.17) to use it, I had to change line 25 of the top-level Makefile in
the kernel source tree. Change "cc" to "kgcc", so it looks like this:
CC =$(CROSS_COMPILE)kgcc -D__KERNEL__ -I$(HPATH)
