I totally agree, I'm really wondering if the current API would allow to create a tree which would contain only files needed on machine..... Typically i never use sparc or mips file in kernel compilation. I'm dreaming of a day when i could download these different parts: Kernel core source x86 specific part any driver i need
A few tar -xvzf later i'd got a working kernel, with no space lost on my HD.
