to compile the linux kernel only a 'simple' gcc/binutil
version is required ... so the best thing would be to
port just the required parts of gcc/binutils

see here for some details:

(make sure to compile and install the binutils first)

    C99) will be able to compile linux kernels ...
PPS: please let me know if you succeed ...
