Well, run gcc in cygwin.

Well, besides the compiler and the kernel sources you don´t really
need anything. It might work.

But to me it sound a lot easier to take an old PC, install Linux on
that, and ssh in to compile kernel modules, that´s it. You can
actually "mount" your windows disk on that Linux machine, so you
really only need to issue make. That can even be don via (X)Emacs
remote-compile function.
