Cannot Compile

Hello, I was curious about compiling a kernel. But I didn't have any idea about Assesmbly language. Yesterday I saw they were coded already on the wiki then I decided to try it out. However it seems I can't even pass first stage. I don't know how to compile gcc for cross-platform. I'm using Arch Linux, I already have GCC installed on my system but I can't find commands given in bare bones page. Thanks All !

There's a link, or rather, four of them on that page. Click it

I think we have to be realistic here. If you have no idea about assembly language then you are bound for disappointment. I would advise that you correct that first; learn how to write simple assembler programs and read and try and understand the basics of the x86 architecture from the Intel Programmer's Manuals. Until you do that I see little point in trying to write and compile a kernel, even a simple one.
