4.5 more megabytes, per kernel, on my root filesystem. (That's *after* pruning the extra include/asm-*/'s.) Thanks but no thanks.
Symlinks fail only if you move or delete your tree. By doing that, you have proven that you actually know what and where your kernel sources are, which in turn is strong evidence that you are not in need of those "External Module Compiling for Dummies" scripts.
Conversely, by actually trusting a random script to compile an external module unaided, the user is all but declaring himself incapable of messing around with the /usr/src/linux that came pre-installed.
