maybe it would be a good idea to find a way to separate the real image
building and target/linux/install?

IIRC target/linux/install does two things:

1) Prepares kernel parts of image for each selected profile (that is uImage for those that use uImage, embed commandline, etc)

2) Builds the actual images, when image building is selected

In reality the real time-waster is building a huge number of unwanted kernel image parts and/or images.

I think think for this part, the lowest cost path is find a way to select only wanted images, for #of images/kernel parts > 1.

Basically, if there is a way to do checkboxes instead of a radio list in profile selection, that would solve the issue IMO.

target/linux/compile is still somewhat annoying, but it's the lesser of the issues and probably a harder problem to solve in a robust way.

Daniel
