It does not build kernels, neither, thanks God !

The purpose of '-d make distribution", is from my understanding, and I
guess many poeple use this, is to have a populated etc/ and run
postinstall against the current one.

Anywway, it fails with an empty destdir, too.

And with a 120MHz PowerPC, it's a pain, since a full build takes more
than 24 hours.

So, I'll have to modify my auto-build script, to run make distribution
in /usr/etc, and call postinstall myself.
