	That is strange.  The GENERIC kernel should build with no problems -
	efforts were made to keep the Make.* files in /sys/conf in sync with
	the GENERIC system.

	Alas, it sounds like I didn't keep the template Makefiles current
	enough ;-(

	I doubt there are any books out there that know anything about
	overlays - it's a a lost art from what I've seen.

	I'll follow up with a mini tutorial on how to build a kernel.  One
	note for now:  it is 99.999% certain that after configuring a
	non-GENERIC kernel you will get a size error from the linker and you
	will have to adjust the overlay layout in your kernel build directory.
