I've needed int0 (timer) to be sharable, and to change the basic timing interval,
so I've had to modify & compile kernels from 7.1->7.3
Since the hardware had 64MB RAM as a fixed limit,
stripping the kernel of unnecessary stuff was also helpful.
I''ve not yet dug that far with my new CentOS.

I haven't built a custom kernel since the modular approach included
everything I needed somewhere in the RedHat 6.x era. I can't think
of any reason to do it other than needing to add drivers that won't
work as modules.
