BusyBox has been doing this for months now: "build at once" is one of our

megabytes of ram to do this and you have no useful progress indicator between
starting and ending. But the result is definitely smaller.
It isn't that bad when you're only building a few files at a time -- I
wouldn't suggest doing it for the whole kernel.
I suggest a new makefile target for this.
I.e. "make bzImage" as always for those who do development and
recompile after small changes/patches.
And a "make optImage" (optimized image) when building a
kernel for production use, when you believe compiling every file
and spending lots of extra time is worth it.
