I thought that since you might have updated the toolchain it might make a
difference, and I have had to adjust some of the mk variables when building
the system or kernels as opposed to building packages, but I use build.sh to
config and build kernels and the system. You are probably right that those
variables don't matter when you run config manually to configure a kernel.
