I did exactly the same thing, for the same reason (Win4Lin), with no
problems. I got the 2.6.9 source from kernel.org, applied the Win4Lin
patches (there are two, plus an optional patch to allow you to turn
REGPARM on which must normally be turned off in a Win4Lin-enabled
kernel), copied the Fedora config (config-2.6.9-1.681_FC3) to .config,
then built and installed normally. Not a single hiccup. I did make a few
minor changes to the .config, such as optimizing for my hardware,
turning on AX.25 support, etc, but nothing major.

In what way did your compile fail?
