"adjustkernel" hasn't ever worked well for me and in any case I 
first just copy GENERIC to MYGENERIC and check that compiles ok, 
which it almost always has.

I usually use  "./build.sh tools kernel=MYGENERIC" which takes 
a lot longer but covers for when I've updated between times.

The output from "adjustkernel" can still be useful as base
for a custom kernel but knowing you need to add back lines
from original based on the compile errors.
