Sorry for the typo.
I installed the toolchain! they refer to and use in their cross compiling kernel
howto at: "http://free-electrons.com/doc/kernel-cross-compiling-lab.pdf"

"Otherwise, download the toolchain from http://freeelectrons.
com/labs/tools/arm-unknown-linux-uclibc-gcc-
4.3.2.tar.bz2 and uncompress it as root in /. Then, add the crosscompiler
directory to the PATH as shown above."

No I haven't done that, but I will do, can you give me a hint what I should
try to crosscompile?

Thanks and regards
