I'm trying to do some embedded Linux development. Let's say that I need to port an older version of the Linux kernel (3.2 for example) to a custom board. I'll be cross-compiling from a Ubuntu environment.
Will I need to be running a certain version of Ubuntu to successfully build a certain version of the kernel, or will I be fine with any version of Ubuntu?

You should be O.K. compiling on whatever version of Ubuntu you are running. That is what I do. However 3.2 is pretty old, so all I can suggest is that you try it.
