I looked into the build scripts, focusing on "mkdir" optimization.

With this series, I succeeded in speeding up the incremental build
with O= option.

The following is the result of "time make O=foo",
where "foo" is the output directory that has already been built.

Before:

real	0m8.322s
user	0m4.324s
sys	0m1.220s

After:

real	0m6.989s
user	0m4.168s
sys	0m1.080s

3/4 gave the biggest impact.



Masahiro Yamada (4):
  kbuild: create directory for make cache only when necessary
  kbuild: remove redundant $(wildcard ...) for cmd_files calculation
  kbuild: create object directories simpler and faster
  kbuild: optimize object directory creation for incremental build
