Thanks. For an incremental compile, where only one source file has changed, the time went from 7 minutes and 47 seconds to 4 minutes and 33 seconds on my test server. And the spew of warnings and such are gone. For reference a clean compile typically takes about 23 minutes. The overhead for making the .changes file is now on the order of 2 to 4 seconds. Obviously, results will vary widely for others, depending on their hardware. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
