That is for the distribution- or user-supplied installkernel script to deal=

So don't run make install when cross-compiling (unless of course your=20
installkernel script supports that).

I don't understand these objections. If someone's platform is so super-spec=
ial=20
that a script couldn't possibly know how to install a kernel, just don't ru=
n=20
make install!
