Use `SymlinkProgram -c overwrite Scripts` to wipe the conflicts. That
means that another program has (or has had) files with the same name,
and you have to choose which to use (in this case, I think some parts
have been moved from Compile into Scripts, so you can just overwrite
them).

Good.

That shouldn't be a problem, so long as you've upgraded your Compile.
They're really the same step; Compile Linux will make menuconfig for
you, so you can set it up how you like. It also takes care of
installing the kernel and modules, so it's pretty simple from there.
