Building a kernel or a Pi. No way :-D its like hours.
On my laptop it takes 5 min. cross compiling :)

Yes I have tried 
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/linux/kernel/building.md

Also that.

Haven't tried that.

Just want to be able to do it myself. Also I had to compile some wifi dongle 
drivers myself.
Also I want to try making minimal kernel stripped down to the hw in a Pi.

Ah, maybe I should give that a try.
