 The old method:
 
 	cd src/sys/<arch>/conf && config GENERIC
 		&& cd ../../compile/GENERIC && make depend && make
 
 still works, and is expected to work in the future.  buildkernel is
 only necessary when you're upgrading a system, particuarly across
 binutils upgrades.
 
 If you really feel this is still an issue, feel free to reopen the PR;
 it'd also be nice if you sent a follow-up so that your intention is
 clearly noted in the audit-trail.
 
 Thanks,
