Sorry, I was not very clear at my reasons why this change is important, 
I will try to briefly explain the whole story.

Some weeks ago I was trying to solve a task that needed to change some 
compiling options, build the whole kernel (allyesconfig) and look for 
errors. The problem was: It would take a long time to build everything 
in my computer. And many friends with slimmer laptops would take much 
longer.


It seems to me that you shouldn't need expensive optimization for 
continuous integration. In theory that could make a big difference though 
I admit to no experience of build farms.

Have you looked at ccache? It will save you from having to recompile any 
files not changed.

You could also leverage all of your laptops together using distcc.

HTH.
