Compiling the non-nprofiled libkern objects takes only 17 seconds, while
compiling a kernel takes 1400 seconds here.  The saving is hardly worth
having.

My kernel compile time has increased from about 1200 seconds since I
added full prototyping and a few options, and from about 540 seconds for
1.1.
