Do you refer to that?  (in menuconfig)
If so, the answer is "no". It comes from here:

/usr/src/linux/.config       
CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE=""
# CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST is not set
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-29-desktop"


And if you compile your own kernel, you must change it, or your build will replace \
the original kernel. If your's fails, you have no backup plan.
