I have installed crosstool from kegel.com in /opt/crosstool dictionary.
 
 Now here my question is
 " Can I cross compile any kernel from this cross tool or any specific kernel " ?

Niral,

Yes !
look into the Kernel Makefile, and you will recognize, that its already =
prepared for Cross-Compiling.

Just create a small script, which exports the variable CROSS_COMPILE and =
ARCH, e.g.
------------8-<------------
export =
CROSS_COMPILE=3D/opt/crosstool/powerpc-e300-linux-gnu/gcc-3.4.1-glibc-2.3=
.3/bin/powerpc-e300-linux-gnu-
export ARCH=3Dppc
------------8-<------------
After sourcing this script, you can use all the kernel Make-features for =
your cross-compile environment.

Additionally, you might want to export INSTALL_PATH and =
INSTALL_MOD_PATH, which defines, where Kernel image and modules should =
be installed.
