It has been years since I built a kernel -- there rarely seems to be a
need.

I recommend that you start with clean source, without your patch, and
try building.  It will likely be a learning experience.

Only patch after you have perfected building and installing.

I infer from previous posts that you are using Ubuntu.  Ubuntu has its
own packaged kernels and hence its own protocol for building a kernel.
Try
(1) starting from one of their kernel source packages, and
(2) using their official method of building the kernel.
That should minimize the chance of problems.
