I can hardly blame him if he is using vmlinux. The zImage (or bzImage) is buried way down the tree: /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage
Whatever it is that gets compiled should get an _obvious_ name and be put in the root of the source tree. I really don't care if it is moved or just symlinked. (a copy would waste space)
Another suggestion: a plain "make" should run menuconfig. Actually, the old config should be scriptconfig and menuconfig should be the normal config.
