Having said that, I think you should not have too many problems compiling a 4.x kernel with glibc-2.19 (the version you find in Jessie). It is important that the kernel and glibc use the same ABI, but this seems to be the case. You might miss the support for some exceptionally new syscalls or options to syscalls if your glibc is too old wrt the version of the kernel you want to use, but apart from that you should be able to compile without problems. I don't know whether you already are aware of it, but the best way to compile a vanilla kernel on Debian/Devuas is through using kernel-package, which compiles the kernel and produces a ready-to-install .deb package.
