Here's the funny thing.... a friend of mine who "hand-compiles" his
own kernels DOES use the "make modules modules_install" etc all on
one command line and it works just fine for him....
He doesn't have to fool around with "make dep" any of the other
stuff. He just starts out with make -j16 (note ...it works!) etc.
