I'm a kernel newbie and I would be very happy to receive some tips about kernel compilation from experienced developers. I have recently elaborated some trivial patches. For each one I have done a build test at minimum and I find myself spend a lot of time waiting my Core Duo to accomplish this task. Make is a very smart tool but after a git pull or a git fetch origin/git reset --hard origin it can't help as desired. Unfortunately I don't have a clustered compilation farm under my control. :-) Anyone can suggest me how mitigate that issue? Tips, RTFM, links will be appreciated as long as referred to real used technique. Thanks in advance and sorry for stupid question.
