Actually, I don't think this is a good idea.  In general, I build
arla at least half the time, if not more often, for a kernel which
I am not yet running.  Thus when I moved to 2.2.0-pre8, to 2.2.0-pre9,
to 2.2.0, and to 2.2.1, I recompiled xfs.o for each of these kernels
when I recompiled the kernel; that is, when I was still running the
previous kernel.  So at the very least, you would need to use a
variable instead of putting `uname -r` in the path.
