maybe a pointer to the documentation?
Is there such a thing? I mean a comprehensive guide for doing such work
on (not only) gentoo systems?

The idea from above is to end up with:

localversion2 - .version
.version
Where:
localversion1 contains HOSTNAME
.version contains number `N' (current build)
localversion2 is symlinked to .version

will give each kernel a name with the hostname and version

But seeing this discussion, I've finally realised that I'm a dumbass.
For ages now I've been manually copying the kernel, the system.map and
the config around my filesystem. I've always wondered how on earth

I can set the version, either in the kernel config with

I am using the first way, don't know the second.
It works just the same, but

Yes.
Also how exactly do you then need to build the kernel.
Does a simple 'make'
