Initially, My approach was to re-compile whole kernel from scratch but all hopes went down the moment I found out that it requires large amount of disk space.
Now, I'm trying to figure out how to compile only part of it.
The file I modified is net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c
I then followed following steps but lost at middle,

If you look at net/ipv4/Makefile, you’ll see that tcp_ipv4.o is part of obj-y, which means it can only be built as part of the kernel, it can’t be built as a module.

ld looks for shared libraries or linker scripts named libsomething.so, or static libraries named libsomething.a, where something matches the -lsomething parameter given to ld. Libraries named libsomething.so.x.y.z, where x.y.z is the library’s version, are used at runtime, not for building, and ld won’t use them.

For a project I intend to compile various *NIX OSs and their relative packages with different CPUs in order to maximize optimization and performance for specific systems.

The kernel build requirements are quite conservative: for kernel 4.18, GCC 3.2 and binutils 2.20 are sufficient. Thus your distribution’s compiler should work fine.
