Oh, from a quick glance it looked like half a dozen might suffice :-)

I have done this a lot lately (needed a custom kernel for a new laptop).
Basically all I had to do was install make-kpkg + a number of other
related packages. Once all that was in place I just had to pick a source
tarball from kernel.org and unzip it, copy the latest config I had
in /boot to linux-<version>/.config , then run
# yes "" | make oldconfig
from within the source-directory and then start compiling with
something like
# fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-<whateveryoulike> kernel-image kernel-headers
The man page of make-kpkg gives hints about how to
force a gcc version in its description paragraph, never tried this
myself, though.
Good luck!!
