Hi Rusty,
  what is this line supposed to do, except making it impossible
to build kernel modules in temporary directories? Now when I build
out-of-tree modules, I get 'Trouble:' followed by approximate 16000
characters listing paths to all modules I have in kernel, for no
apparent reason (I know that I removed some module I built in /tmp...
why kernel should care, that module is gone forever), so it makes 
all warning & error messages completely lost 5 screens away.
  
  Can you remove this 'Trouble:' message, or at least provide some
way to disable that message (and two warnings below it too, they
serve no useful purpose AFAICT, as they trigger whenever you'll remove
some module from directory where you built it) ? Or at least make it
useful: print only modules which are missing, not all modules.
                                        Thanks,
                                                Petr Vandrovec
