Like Ken says, but one thing I'd suggest is just build a new kernel
instead of trying to recreate the current one. When you're done
installing, there should be symlinks in
/lib/modules/$version/{build,source} which points to the place you
built the kernel. You can move this kernel tree wherever you want and
just change the symlinks to match. The whole point of those symlinks
is to assist with building modules externally.
