No reason. Historically, we've been on embedded platforms where you loaded the kernel and then needed no more modules after that. This has changed, obviously, but we've been slow to adapt.

Unfortunately, you can't set DESTDIR to an NFS mount because the attempts to set the immutable flags blow the build up. :)

Can't you set NO_FSCGH=t to get around this (hmmm, looks like an option that's slipped through the cracks of the WITH/WITHOUT change over).
