to the USB drive with a utility like dd? Or are there some special files
that need to be copied to the boot sector?
Unetbootin (unetbootin.sf.net) is a GUI program that claims to do this,

an incorrect compiler option.
On LKML, a failure of the kernel to compile will usually get immediate
attention.
