Well, playing around with -rc7, I finally figured out what I was doing 
wrong, and yes, it was a PEBCAK bug! =:^(  I had been copying the 
KBUILD_OUTPUT dir from the old kernel to the new one, thus apparently 
saving a few hundred jobs of copying header files from the sources dir 
into the outputdir and the like. (Running -j, unlimited jobs, I'd peak at 
180 or so copying over the old working outputdir, something over 400 
without).

Only between -rc1 and -rc2 for 2.6.27, they changed the location of a 
bunch of header files, and the old headers in the outputdir/include 
subdir were fighting with the new ones.

By starting with an entirely clean outputdir (but for the old .config, 
which I run make oldconfig on, first thing), everything worked the way it 
was supposed to.  So I reclosed the bug, rejected-invalid.

I guess I know for next time, now.

(BTW, Beso, that's why you haven't heard anything from me lately on my 
kernel scripts... I was wondering what might be wrong with them...  Now I 
have to think a bit and probably change a couple things... wouldn't want 
anyone else to be stumped by the same problem I was, due to my scripts...)
