the tarball's format doesn't matter, you'll have to unpack it anyway :-)

That doesn't matter either, I have done this from somewhere in ~/ , I
guess /usr/src is just a recommendation where the sources belong. Maybe
you'll need it there if you compile 3rd party modules or something, not
sure about that.

It's right at the start of the man page, paragraph "DESCRIPTION":

" Also, please note that some versions of gcc do not interact well with
the kernel sources (gcc 2.95 has problems compiling the kernel without
the flag '-fno-strict-aliasing'. This issue has been taken care of for
recent kernels (2.2 and 2.4 series are fine) (I think you may have to
edit the makefile for older kernels, or something). You may control which
version of gcc used in kernel compilation by setting the Makefile
variables CC and HOSTCC in the top level kernel Makefile. You can do this
simply by setting the environment variable MAKEFLAGS. To observe, try:


  % KBUILD_VERBOSE=1 MAKEFLAGS="CC=gcc-4.4" make-kpkg configure 
"

I never explicitely defined ARCH, I guess you only need to do so if you
e.g. want to compile an i386 kernel on an amd64 machine or vice versa.

That's a separate package.
