"build.sh [options] kernel=GENERIC" will build the GENERIC kernel, and
will rebuild the make wrapper, but will do nothing more.

There's no way of doing that, unless you edit various Makefiles.
Building the GENERIC kernel won't prevent other kernels from being built
as part of "build.sh [options] release" (or whatever).
