My current set is much smaller.

-r-xr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  2728137 Oct 14 11:22 kernel
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  3652854 Feb 12  2002 kernel.GENERIC

I need to rebuild GENERIC. It is obviously for a pre-4.7 version. The 
only thing any of this means to me is that I have a much smaller set 
of active options than you both do on the current system.
