  <pre><code>make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- generic-v8-defconfig

  <p>However, the error messages appear as shown in the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/bin/sh: 1: aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc: not found
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It's obvious I have not this version of gcc installed on my laptop.</p>
