I find it useful for cross builds, but cd ~/work/p4/foo/<arch>/compile/BLAH=
 ;=20
make is significantly shorter than

make buildkernel NO_KERNELCLEAN=3Dyes NO_KERNELDEPEND=3Dyes NO_KERNELCONFIG=
=3Dyes=20
KERNSRCDIR=3D/home/john/work/p4/foo KERNCONF=3DBLAH

It's also much faster, especially when building LINT and fixing typos and=20
syntax errors after a tree-wide sweep due to an API change.
