What architecture?
For i386 and x86_64 make install no longer try to compile the kernel.
I have anyway added the following patch:
------------------

When "make install" is run as root, .tmp_versions is re-created and
becomes owned by root. Subsequent "make" run by user fails because
.tmp_versions cannot be removed.
