  • Use the --owner= and --group= options to make sure the entries in
    the built tar file are owned by root. Without this change, a
    careless sysadmin using the tar-pkg target can easily end up
    installing a kernel that is writable by the unprivileged user
    account used to build the kernel.

    Test that these options are understood before using them so that
    non-GNU versions of tar can still be used if the operator is
    appropriately cautious.

  • Fix out-of-tree builds for the tar-pkg targets

    When I wrote the buildtar script, I didn't even think about
    out-of-tree builds because I didn't use these back then. This patch
    throughoutly uses ${objtree} instead of `pwd`.

    Also, the kernel version is no longer manually built. Instead, it will
    properly use $KERNELRELEASE . Installing modules is only done if
    CONFIG_MODULES is set.
