How about...simply replace CC and HOSTCC inside the Makefile in kernel 
source's top directory with your preferred compiler? Of course, besides 
that, you need to be aware of certain incompatibility problem that 
might arise 
e.g. : does your compiler support support certain gcc extension that is 
used several time by Linux kernel (for example _builtin_expect() )

hope it helps
