That may represent a difference in emphasis. If your main goal is to get the compile working, you may be willing to patch whatever gets you there with the least effort, whether it's the compiler or the kernel source. But if your main interest is in improving the compiler so it can compile anything that GCC can, you have to stick with a vanilla kernel source and keep patching the compiler until it works.
