Thanks Didier, for the advice and especially for setting me straight on
this matter. I should have realised this before I raised it as a quirk
or an issue; I've compiled many, many custom kernels, so I should have
been well-aware of the process and the tweaks that are possible - and
having played with that one in particular when customising and compiling
kernels off-platform for the particular idiosyncrasies of the eventual
host systems, I should have been more attentive to this.

Thanks especially for dignifying my input into the discussion with your
response.
