I've always thought that the Right Way was

$ cd where/the/kernel/source/is
$ make TARGET

Never used -C or O=

Perhaps you are trying to address a special case, like keeping the source in a central root-owned dir but allowing non-root users to compile their version?

I always try to do out-of-source builds where possible. It allows me to move build trees to a separate partition, exclude them from backups, and I can have multiple configurations of a source tree built without having to start from scratch when switching between them.
