I have just discovered this option by looking at the changelog on v1.35
(yeah, I know!). Is there any reason why this option isn't listed in
./configure --help?

The option was not officially supported in xt-a.

Is it officially supported in 1.35? Is it going to be dropped in future
releases? Using that option seems to do the job (and helped me remove
two of the patches I used to apply to preventing building of the kernel
modules).

After reviewing the situation, it can be declared supported in 1.34 and
up. The documentation will be updated.

No, it shall in fact replace the earlier method (which was calling 'make
user-all-local') that was used to skip kernel modules.

Excellent, thank you! There is one thing which is still overlooked
though - Makefile.am has a line with "depmod" in it, which would also
needs to be removed if "--without-kbuild" is used. I have a patch, which
is applied in my version of xtables-addons.spec dealing with that
particular issue - thought to mention that too so that it could be fixed.
