Distributions really need to have been built on the target system
so that the CONFIG variables are correct and the various dynamic
files have been created. Therefore I suggest that the presence of:
/usr/src/linux-`uname -r`/System.map
... is probably good enough for most everyone.
Assuming you build your kernels in /usr/src/ - many people don't, me included.
My kernels are all build in /home/juhl/download/kernel/linux-<version>/
