proper kernel config procedure ...
it u sed to be that one would do 'config -r ' to config a kernel, so
that it removed the old /sys/compile/ directory ... -r was removed,
so is it no longer required to remove the old directory before building
the new kernel, or ... ?

Yes. The dependency stuff all just works, you can 'make clean' if you really want to do a complete rebuild. Kris PGP signature

In particular if you have a sys that's not part of /usr/src/sys it doesn't always work. I've told Peter, but I think he thinks this is a real edge case.

Yes, it does, if your sys tree is complete. There used to be a problem building modules, but it was fixed a month or two ago.

I sent mail to David && Peter after this happened (because they both had last been involved) and never heard back.
