I'm applying the kernel patches by hand and running make in the kernel directory. This worked just fine for older coLinux/kernel. What else does coLinux make do besides applying the patches and default config?

Yes, kernel can build without Python. I hope you found doc/building, and 
the bin/build-kernel.sh for simple kernel build.

CoLinux demons and Windows driver can't build without Python. But, this 
typcal user does not need to rebuild.
