Sure, if you do two passes, the second one with UPDATE or NOCLEANDIR.
Otherwise RELEASEDIR is set for the whole build, including userland
and sets. That's sub-optimal. I think I'd like something like COPTS
that only affects userland, something like KOPTS that only affects
kernels (which defaults to empty in GENERIC &c, so GENERIC &c is
immune to global setting of, as it doesn't make any sense to customize
GENERIC), and for the ramdisk in distrib to be immune to both.
