BTW, I did find where the kernel's top Makefile says:
@echo 'Cleaning targets:'
@echo ' clean - Remove most generated files but keep the config and'
@echo ' enough build support to build external modules'
Unfortunately, that's not true. Trying to build an external module
fails because linux/bounds.h is missing. :/
I guess you just have to do a "make modules_prepare".
