Patch to allow

In compile_kernel() in gen_compile.sh, when copying the image to TMPDIR (lines 346-372), the calls to copy_image_with_preserve and cp look in the current directory for the desired files, rather than ${KERNEL_OUTPUTDIR}. It exits with the message

* ERROR: Could not copy the kernel binary to /var/tmp/gk_testing/tmp!

That directory is where I have set TMPDIR, and the directory exists. With the attached patch, genkernel finds the kernel image and related files, and completes successfully. I have not tested the path that uses the calls to copy_image_with_preserve, but it seems that KERNEL_OUTPUTDIR would be needed there, too.

this appears to have been independantly fixed in genkernel.  can you please retest using the latest unstable version to confirm the issue is solved?
