I use kernel without any modules and CONFIG_MODULES=n accordingly. genkernel all fails on this configuration with such log: genkernel all * Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.4.49 * Running with options: all * Using genkernel.conf from /etc/genkernel.conf * Sourcing arch-specific config.sh from /usr/share/genkernel/arch/x86_64/config.sh .. * Sourcing arch-specific modules_load from /usr/share/genkernel/arch/x86_64/modules_load .. * Linux Kernel 3.13.10-hardened for x86_64... * .. with config file /usr/share/genkernel/arch/x86_64/kernel-config * kernel: --mrproper is disabled; not running 'make mrproper'. * kernel: --oldconfig is disabled; not running 'make oldconfig'. * kernel: >> Cleaning... * >> Compiling 3.13.10-hardened bzImage... * >> Installing firmware ('make firmware_install') due to CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL != y... * >> Compiling 3.13.10-hardened modules... * ERROR: Failed to compile the "modules" target... * * -- Grepping log... -- * * LD drivers/tty/built-in.o * LD drivers/built-in.o * LINK vmlinux * LD vmlinux.o * MODPOST vmlinux.o *WARNING: modpost: Found 1988 section mismatch(es). *-- * Running with options: all * Using genkernel.conf from /etc/genkernel.conf * Sourcing arch-specific config.sh from /usr/share/genkernel/arch/x86_64/config.sh .. * Sourcing arch-specific modules_load from /usr/share/genkernel/arch/x86_64/modules_load .. * * ERROR: Failed to compile the "modules" target... * * -- End log... -- * * Please consult /var/log/genkernel.log for more information and any * errors that were reported above. * * Report any genkernel bugs to bugs.gentoo.org and * assign your bug to genkernel@gentoo.org.

I can confirm this issue with recent versions of genkernel.

Judging from bug 95993, it seems that the bzImage target (instead of all) is meant for exactly this. But it also seems to enable initramfs generation, and I'm trying to find out why.
Created attachment 493358 [details, diff] no initramfs build for bzImage target
