This is harder than it seems, even if you have the necessary Makefile support. For instance, there are places in the resident kernel that care about whether something is a module or not defined at all.

I would like to have separate source and target trees, with the source directory read-only. Then you could do this:
make target-1 with minimal resident and full modules copy target-1 to target-2 reconfigure target-2 make in target-2
