But I have a question: what about the 8-char alpha-numeric extension that now comes with every kernel? Is it automatically picked up from the *-source?
Oh, my. What a text corruption. Editing and resending.

Do you refer to that? (in menuconfig) If so, the answer is "no". It comes from here:
/usr/src/linux/.config CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE="" # CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST is not set CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-29-desktop"
And if you compile your own kernel, you must change it, or your build will replace the original kernel. If your's fails, you have no backup plan.
I hope I deleted all the strange chars that corrupted the display :-(
Actually, I have absolutely no idea if you have deleted or not any strange chars because what you show above I have not seen before - be it in a muddled state or not a muddle state. So, I am now totally confu-sed :-) . So, how about starting again and letting me know what you were trying to say :-) .
