To be more specific, the only time it won't work is when you've
upgraded the system. If the sources you're working on have been
installed and all you've done is tweaked the kernel, it'll always
work. Better yet, you can skip some of the steps depending on how
you've tweaked the kernel, resulting in much faster build times.
