The only downside that I can see is that you would need to load your patched kernel with kexec, to avoid interfering with already fragile kindle OTA updates.
It might be safer to add these patches to a shell instead of the kernel, like how cygwin does it. Then do your tcc compiles inside the patched shell.
But really, the USB drive is large enough that we can just use renamed file copies instead of symlinks, which is how I handled this kind of problem in the past. If your library needs three names, just use three copies of that library on your vfat drive. Then you do not need non-standard and potentially fragile vfat symlink support.
