 Why do you want to recompile the kernel?  It should Just Work with the

 Add to /etc/security/limits.conf something like:
 *               hard    rtprio  99
 *               hard    nice    -20
 *               soft    nice    -20
 *               hard    memlock 500000
 There is some anecdotal evidence that "memlock" does not work.  I have
 not investigated it yet.

I believe if you set a hard limit without also setting the soft limit
it will leave the soft limit at the default. On FC5 the default limit
for rtprio is 0 and memlock is 32k or so. I think you can use '-' to
set both the soft and hard limit, so the above would become:
*               -    rtprio  99
*               -    nice    -20
*               -    memlock 500000
