Some improvements, I am now building on a Debian virtual machine 
following the instructions more strictly.

When I ran: ./build.sh -p sun4i

The kernel started building (no kidding), this lasted for some time and 
ended with the following error:
cp: cannot stat 
`/home/julien/work/kernel/arm-netbook/modules/wifi/usi-bcm4329/v4.218.248.15/open-src/src/dhd/linux/../../../../firmware/4329inuse/fw_bcm4329.bin':

This looks like a problem with the wifi module with a missing file. 
Before building, I ran:
git clone git://anonscm.debian.org/arm-netbook/arm-netbook.git
cd arm-netbook
git checkout lichee/v2.6.36
changed CROSS_COMPILE to arm-linux-gnueabi- in scripts/build_sun4i.sh
touch rootfs/sun4i_rootfs.cpio.gz
./build.sh -p sun4i

Do I need to do something with menuconfig?

Cheers,
