Hi,

I'm developing kernel modules right now, and the build times are
starting to get under my skin. As a side effect i'm taking way too
many "coffee" breaks during builds.

So i was looking for a way to build only the stuffs i need for my
platform. Chapter 7 and 8 of "linux kernel in a nutshell" gave a good
detail of how to do that by hand. Its a good read :

IMHO, first you need to experiment to get the best config. Like you
have found, make localmodconfig (is it?) will help.

Afterward, maybe what you need is compilation speed up? If so, have
you tried ccache?

No i've not. But after viewing their website, it seems very
interesting. I will definitely try that out.

Thanks for the tip.
