But is the "new" 'make buildkernel KERNCONF=BLABLA' supposed to work? The 
reason I'm asking is that I used that method for several month until I 
started having strange problems. I discovered then that /sys/compile/BLABLA 
hadn't been updated since I started using the "new" way. Compiling the old 
way, /sys/compile/BLABLA got updated. And recompiling the misbehaving apps 
(various DVD-players) they began behaving!

Is there any reasons why /sys/compile/BLABLA isn't updated with buildkernel? 
And what is /sys/compile/BLABLA? Is it just for kerneldebugging, or are they 
the systems includefiles apps are compiled up against?
