This is what I was thinking of when I mentioned "fixing things".
Going the "good old way" (make world, _then_ build a new kernel)
doesn't have to _work_, the problem right now is that it will
complete, but in the end you'll have a non-running system (and,
the way I understood, it would be non-repearable without a new
binary installation).
An interruption of the build-process at the beginning, displaying
a message ("Please build and install a new kernel first") in this
case would be suficient.
