    Use
    make drivers/media/dvb/frontends/

    to just compile the module.

    But then you need to do an:
    make modules

    which will build all modules. Here you need to tweak the .config to only
    specify one module, the one you want.
    Sorry, no better way today.

    Keep a pre-built kernel is always a good choice.
