What hoops do they make you do? compiling a new kernel isn't really
much more than the normal development with GNU toolchain?

I only did full kernel compilation with my old 32-bit x86 slackware
box (and it died last year), but I found compat-wireless quite alright
on top of x64_64 fedora, even for developing/tryinng patches. (that's
thanks to Luis and John, of course).
