OK, let's start from zero:

What is the proper method for building a 4.0-STABLE kernel?

    # /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
    # cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL
    # make depend
    # make
    # make install

or

    # cd /usr/src
    # make buildkernel installkernel KERNEL=MYKERNEL
    # chflags noschd /kernel /MYKERNEL
    # mv /kernel /kernel.old
    # mv /MYKERNEL /kernel
    # chflags schg /kernel
