Shouldn't need these 3.
Although they're not bad to have around.

In addition to gcc, you need make (you already seem to have that),
binutils, modutils (probably), and you may still need bin86, not
sure about that though.

These are only needed if you use the 'menuconfig' target, as it's
ncurses-based, xconfig would need tcl/tk, 'config' doesn't need
anything exceptional iirc.

see above.

Just be sure to have a spare kernel lying around.. in case yours
doesn't boot.
