As far as I know, all you need is to download the pristine sources from
kernel.org and that's about it. I mean, you do have the C Development
libraries and compilers already installed, right? Do you have gcc
installed?
Also, keep in mind that in the case of Red Hat 7 you may need to compile
the kernel with kgcc instead of gcc. You should therefore change the
CC variable in te Makefile. I think I saw a message from Linus in the
Linux kernel list nevertheless advising people to rty to compile the
new kernels with the GCC bundled with RH7 in case there are some interesting
bugs to report though.
