However, it will also make config not accept your kernel description file -
at least, this happened for a RELENG_2_2 build I attempted from the
sourcetree as of Thursday early morning (4 AM) GMT.

Removing the flags 0x1 made it build; however, I recommend against trying to
make release on a 2940 on RELENG_2_2 right now.  (Several people are working
on getting this fixed.)
Apart from "make release" it seems to work fairly well.
