Using the https://landley.net/toybox/faq.html#cross2 toolchains
and the https://landley.net/toybox/faq.html#mkroot build (which even has sh4 as
its example command line), I got a kernel to boot under qemu-system-sh4 and
another one on my j-core board fairly recently. (Most recent release kernel I
think?)

That's not the full debian kernel config either, though...
