   - Get the sources for the version of the standard Linux kernel that you are going to base your kernel on
   - Get the patches you intend to apply - both TC kernel patches and possibly others (in my case the RT-patches)
   - Unpack the linux sources and cd into the top level directory of the source package
   - Apply the patches using (in most cases) "patch -p1 < patchfile" for each patch file
   - NOTE: "patch -p1 < patchfile" is deprecated. Use "git am patchfile" per https://kernelnewbies.org/KernelBuild
   - Move the kernel config file from the standard TC kernel into the same directory and rename it to ".config"
   - Do "make oldconfig" and answer all questions, in case you have no clue on the answer just provide the default ones (i.e. just hit Return)
   - Do "make menuconfig" and make any changes you need to the configuration
   - Do "make bzImage" to build the kernel itself
   - Do "make modules" to build the loadable modules
   - Do "make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/path modules_install firmware_install" where /path is a path to a directory where you expect to find the modules.
