How to create a working build environment

Hi!

I have set up a Linux Debian Lenny 2.6.26-2-686 build environment in =
Virtualbox with Gcc-G++ versions 3.2, 3.4.6 and 4.3.2.
I cannot compile the kernel with 3.2, which is the recommended version.

I have tried different CPU types in make menuconfig, and build fails at =
the "make" command after "make menuconfig" with the following error: =
"cc1plus: invalid option `no-sse3`".

Can you please provide some more information on how to create a working =
build environment for Pistachio?
I have been trying for the past 14 days now to get a working build =
environment and I'm starting to give up.

I have tried compiling with gcc/g++ 4.0.0, 3.4.6, 4.3.2 and 3.2 without =
success.
The kernel will not compile at all with 3.2, but will compile with later =
versions of GCC/G++, but will not execute pingpong.

I hope this makes sense.

Best regards,
H=E5vard Ostnes
