What happens if you first buildkernel before the buildworld ?

Depends on which version of kernel you are building on which world. For
example, the buildkernel would work nicely if you are building a 5.2.1
kernel on a 5.2 world. However, if you try to build a 5.3 kernel on a 5.2.1
world it is bound to fail. Refer to /usr/src/UPDATING. For the reason of why
he compilation would fail.
