What about the case where I'm compiling for a kernel that I'm
not running (yet)?

lm_sensors, for example, told me yesterday when I compiled it
that I was running 2.2.17, but it was compiling for 2.2.18
(because I moved the symlink in /usr/src/linux to point to
/usr/src/linux-2.2.18)

I personally wouldn't like some programs to do a `uname -r`
check because it won't do what I want it to :)
