You can save great deal of build time if you don't need much.  Between
limiting what is built for world and kernel, most builds could be cut to a
small fraction of what default is.  For example, WITHOUT_CLANG alone save a
lot of time.  However to get a complete targeted build takes a good deal of
effort.  Usually only makes sense for mass deployments IME.
