I find it useful for cross builds, but cd ~/work/p4/foo/<arch>/compile/BLAH ;
make is significantly shorter than
make buildkernel NO_KERNELCLEAN=yes NO_KERNELDEPEND=yes NO_KERNELCONFIG=yes
KERNSRCDIR=/home/john/work/p4/foo KERNCONF=BLAH
It's also much faster, especially when building LINT and fixing typos and
syntax errors after a tree-wide sweep due to an API change.
