I intend to make this better this cycle. The various flavours will be more consistent with one another and the configs will be much leaner. Also I have found that one can successfully boot test a kernel with only "make uImage" so you don't have to take the time to build all the module to do a quick boot test.
Slightly off topic - but there's one annoying thing when you just build our uImage. The linaro default .config has these options as modules:
CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_437=m CONFIG_NLS_ISO8859_1=m
This means you can't update the kernel on your target device because you can't mount /dev/mmcblk0p1. When testing kernel changes, I like to run a script on the device that will grab a new uImage, copy it to /dev/mmcblk0p1, and reboot.
