Mixing repositories is always a risky thing, unless you know exactly
what you are up to and how to get out of trouble, if trouble happens.

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.
