I noticed that when I forgot to do th "make depend" the other night that it was taking forever to build the components for the kernel. When you do run that command it goes a great deal faster. For me, I typically install a RELEASE version and do a "make world" on the whole source tree. That builds many useful files that will be helpful when building a fresh kernel. I am no expert, but I think that "make depend" sets it up so that your kernel uses all the files you may have already built. Can anyone explain this part of the build process?
