Sorry for chiming in that late, but I didn't think of this when reading the
original submission.

Just doing "make oldconfig; make install" used to work.
Removing the dependency of "make vmlinux" on vmlinux breaks this, doesn't it?

I had the habit of doing the above many years ago, when I was mostly doing
native builds, and before I had my own custom linux-install-kernel
script that e.g.
knows how to copy kernels and modules around to NFS servers.

Not that I'm strongly attached to it, but there may be other users...

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
