>Description:
If you are attempting to compile a kernel under 3.1 and it stops due to an error
in your configuration, previous versions would erase the old files in ../../compile/MY.KERNEL
Under 3.1 they are not erased.  
>How-To-Repeat:
attempt to compile a kernel with a known error.  When it stops.  Fix the error, and
re-compile under the same name.  It will still show the same error.
>Fix:
So if you correct the error (spelling etc) or change anything else
with the same kernel name, you end up with your old compile files and not the new ones.  Go into ../../compile/MY.KERNERL 
rm * and then cd .. and rmdir MY.KERNEL.  Then run the new config.  Otherwise you will be up all 
night like I was looking for an error.
