Yes, just tried it.

"make clean" alone may not be enough. make with modules turned on
leaves lots of special files lying around in various directories, make
clean does not delete these special files. Starting from 2.3.33 which
was compiled with CONFIG_MODULES, I did :-
cp .config ..
make mrproper (gets rid of all the config crud)
cp ../.config .
make menuconfig, turned off CONFIG_MODULES
make dep clean && make -j 4 bzImage (SMP box)
The only problem was pcmcia/tulip_cb which insisted on compiled for
modules even though modules were disabled. loop.c was fine. Try
mrproper instead of clean.
I wish we had mec's Dancing Makefiles - no such problems and faster
too.
