Scratchbox (2) simplifies things. It does not complicate them.
Well OK, I have tried compiling the N9 PR1.3 with direct cross-compiling using the arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc 4.6.3 just as I compile the Nemo kernel or ubiboot kernel. There's something that makes the compile fail (cannot remember now what was it, some missing dependency or library)
However as I could not do it otherways, I have kept a scratchbox environment that I use to build Harmattan kernels and derivatives.

Well kernel modules just have to be open as they are part of the kernel which is GPL as we all know.
If there are closed bits, they are in the userland or on fw blobs.
