The usual way people screw this up is by not doing the 'make
modules_install' *before* the 'make install'. That's the fast path to
a busted initrd.

Mmm, reading the manpage isn't very concise about how to use it. I don't
have a (G)CC env var set, but it looks like that method could be used
(something like "CC=ccache; export CC" maybe) , so I have to ask can it,
so my scripts, which do all this with a "make bzImage" or "make
modules"
commands apparently wouldn't need any changes?
