I think something like:
- Copy sources, cd to dest
- Backup .config
- make mrproper
- Restore .config to destdir
- make ... modules_prep or so (don't have it off-hand, but make help 
shows) which gets things valid again for external modules to build.

Problem is that (a) that won't work on 2.4 and (b) I don't know how far 
back, off-hand, that make target exists in 2.6.
