   I am getting wholely sick of this blasted config message.   If you are
   going to print the message, print it once and be done with it.  Not
   every time I config!  I'd get rid of the message entirely, in fact.

   Also, if you guys insist of making 'make' generate a debug kernel called
   'kernel.debug' by default, at LEAST objcopy it to 'kernel' to generate
   the non-debug version during the main 'make' procedure rather then
   during the 'make install' procedure.  Not all of us use make install to
   install new kernels. 

   I've gone from having to cp/strip to having to objcopy.  My life is not 
   made easier.

   I don't mind generating both a debug and non-debug kernel by default.  But
   it must be done in the correct fashion.
