[yocto] Kernel build woes

Since the recent changes in how the kernel is built, some useful
workflows have been broken. In particular when working on a
kernel, I use this sequence quite a lot:
$ bitbake virtual/kernel
$ bitbake virtual/kernel -c devshell
... make some tweaks, add a test patch, etc
$ bitbake virtual/kernel -C compile
Trying this with a quite recent master (4e20211090d2b193250edaa64f84e355a1c31fe5)
I get this error on the compile step:
ERROR: Function failed: do_compile (log file is located at

ERROR: Task 10 (/home/local/poky-cutting-edge/meta/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto_3.14.bb, do_compile) failed with exit code '1'
Note: this is not unique to the linux-yocto recipe, I've seen
the same error when using some kernel recipes from meta-fsl-arm*,
e.g. linux-boundary, as well as some local recipes which inherit
kernel.bbclass
Should I file this as a bug?
