I want to compile a fresh kernal and modules, so I delete all the source code and /lib/modules

then
Code:

emerge gentoo-sources
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install


After that, I checked my kernel, it is so small, only 16K!!
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16976 May 18 18:52 bzImage

Does anyone know what is going on?

Thanks,

There was no need to delete source tree. make mrproper should do the trick.

maybe you did not
Code:
make menuconfig

and compiled an "empty" kernel?
