Just the argument to the cd has changed, the command sequence is
still:
cd blah
make depend && make && make install.

cd blah is currently
cd ../../compile/${KERNNAME}
it becomes
cd /usr/obj/`pwd`/${KERNNAME}

config(8) will need to produce a better makefile using `pwd` to
figure out the path to the kernel sources.  BDE probably has lots
of tips about how to do this.
