The only answer to this is _maybe_. It's never guaranteed to work,
but it might.
It's most likely that if it's going to fail it will give you errors
during the compile/build stage - I've never had problems with a kernel
that built okay but had spurious errors or anything like that. So it
might be worth a try for you.
Of course, YMMV and usual caveats / disclaimers apply :)
Best regards,
