It kinda looks to me like you are abusing --kernel--cc for something
it's not meant for, which makes me think the "fix" is either doing it
right, or fixing genkernel.  If you can work up a sane patch I'll drop
it in genkernel myself, but please hit me directly or I'll completely
miss it.

Thanks,
Zero
