Okay I think I see now where ideas need to come from? To me, building
a kernel with modules is just like building a kernel without modules.
In one case the files get linked together later, in the other case the
files get linked together now. I don't see a 2nd step somewhere. Building
the "kernel" used to mean, compile all the source and link together
the objects plus some housekeeping. Now 'link together the objects plus
some housekeeping' should build the modules imo. I don't see why
build.sh kernel=XXX can't build the modules for me and put them into
the kernel obj directory, ready to be copied over. I don't see why I
would want a 2nd step. If the kernel is so lean now, always building the
kernel won't hurt. If it isn't, add -U. As I said, I'm naive.
