But menuconfig (and xconfig) at the end suggests to do 'make dep; make
clean'. So when finally you type 'make bzimage' it will remake the WHOLE
kernel. I think, that the question was, if it is possible to build only
the new module without the time consuming recompilation of the whole
kernel...
I don't know if it is possible. Whenever I changed my kernel/modules
configuration I recompiled everything, just for the safety reason.
Only when I recompiled an additional module, not belonging to the official
kernel source (e.g. my own device driver), I dared to rebuild the module
alone.
