The normal case is one change somewhere => build kernel.
That can be tested by a simple
rm mm/memory.o; /usr/sbin/time make vmlinux
I will try that later.
For now I'm building an allyesconfig just to see if the build actually
completes.
It is quite a number of .o files to link in one go and I fear ld will blow up
and make my machine go OOM.
