Gentoo can build the kernel but I do not allow it to do so.

Rather I use my own script.  I just point it at the source
tar ball and it does the rest:

....

cd /tmp/src/linux
mkdir -p /tmp/install/headers/$NEWDIR/usr
make INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/tmp/install/headers/$NEWDIR/usr headers_install
find /tmp/install/headers/$NEWDIR/usr/include \( -name .install -o -name ..install.cmd \) -delete

cd /tmp/install/headers/$NEWDIR
removetree kernel-headers-$OLDDIR
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
checktree
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
insttree kernel-headers-$NEWDIR
else
echo "Could not install"
fi
else
echo "Could not remove"
fi

....
