If I had to guess, you updated the sources but were only building the
kernel. Don't do that.

Eek. Depends on how good your aim is when pointing at the other end
of your leg.

Let's see. The manual says:
MODULES_OVERRIDE
(str) Set to a list of modules to build instead of all of
them.
so I assume it would be something like
MODULES_OVERRIDE="amr ccd vinum"

In theory, sure. In practice, I don't think it's worth the effort to
avoid building them all. [Well, I do it occasionally, but those are
cases where I know the source hasn't changed, and I am using config(8)
directly anyway.]
