33 As Far As I Know (not so far)
34 After the first time you compile some source, if you compile again make
35 try to avoid recompile unchanged source.
36 The check is done on the dates of source code and the one of object
37 built. Change the clock of the computer from the first compile to the
38 second one may make it confused and so it can avoid to recompile source
39 that is changed.
40 About the kernel compile, I suggesto to copy your .config somewhere
41 safe, run "make mrproper" or "make clean" (first preferred), copy
42 .config again in /usr/src/linux and recompile.
