cdrecord 1.6 will happily burn a CD (without fault) while performing a kernel 
compile. Addmittedly the kernel compile will be a bit slow (something to do 
with the cdrecord forcing itself to the top of the processing stack).

You will still require CD images to be made but most CD burner programs 
(windows based at least) allow to form images that can be burnt using cdrecord.
