i understand... but when i change the .config file severely, don't i
have to do a make clean? or can i change the config file as much as i
want to and do make dep and it'll just compile what's necessary?

still, the argument holds: if i have two machines, compile the kernel
for the first, then use the same tree to compile a kernel for the
second, adding a module or a feature to the first kernel requires more
recompilation than if i hadn't used the tree for the compilation of
the second...
