Hmm.

Well, it's not about the kernel, that's just the normal upstream (or
perhaps distribution) kernel.

Anyway, you're right, it's much simpler. The problem isn't invoking M=
or something like that, that happens much later and sent me on the
completely wrong track.

The problem is simply doing

	make kernelversion

to determine the version of a tree that's not writable to the user, e.g.

	make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/ kernelversion

Which basically also means that it's harmless, since the version is of
course not affected by cc-option.
