In this case, I'd suggest that you either need to create a recipe for the
kernel you are trying to build, just not use the build system at all, or 
generate
a SDK from the build system and use that compiler on your local kernel.

The oe-core and Yocto docs cover the options that I've mentioned above, and
they are the best reference to use.

Assuming that you just go for "don't use the build system at all", you'd 
just
follow a standard kernel build workflow using a cross compiler on your host
system.

Cheers,

Bruce
