Well, I "understood" it by looking in the Makefile in
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf which contains a way of making the LINT kernel.
Prior to building my first 5.4 kernel two months ago, I had no idea any
of this had been done. I always made my (4.X and prior) kernels based
on LINT (better comments), and when it wasn't there I went looking for it.
