That is just the kernel that you will run on the system that you
use to compile the release.
I am assuming that you are compiling the release on a box that does
need aac. So you don't need a custom kernel in that step.
However, you need to customize GENERIC and RAMDISK_CD during this step:
4. Make and validate the system release
The system release consists of at least one generic kernel, some instal-
lation media, the release `tarballs', installation instructions, and
checksum files.
<snip>
Before you run the followoing commands, you edit the GENERIC and
RAMDISK_CD configs to add aac support.
Check that the contents of ${DESTDIR} pretty much match the contents of
the release `tarballs':
# cd /usr/src/etc && nice make release
# cd /usr/src/distrib/sets && sh checkflist
# unset RELEASEDIR DESTDIR
The first of those commands will compile the kernels used for the install
media and it will compile the kernel the installed system will run.
It's those kernels that need aac.
