There is a config file that specifies which kernel modules are to be built, not built, or built as loadable modules. You change the letter to select which type of module you want the module built as. When you then run the kernel build procedure, it uses make, and so only builds what doesn't already exist or is out of date. OOOhhhh, I WISH I had written all these details down when I did it!
