Hi Olivier,

Indeed, on a Qualcomm development board where disk I/O is quite slow:

  $ git describe
  v17.02-rc1-3-g61207d014fc9

  $ time make config T=arm64-armv8a-linuxapp-gcc
  real    1m4.308s

That is really annoying when debugging makefiles.

After applying this patch:

  $ git am mk-optimize-directory-dependencies.patch
  Applying: mk: optimize directory dependencies
  $ rm -rf build/

  $ time make config T=arm64-armv8a-linuxapp-gcc
  real    0m0.111s

Almost 600 times faster than before!

I prefer this solution to the one proposed by Ferruh (which is 
interesting but requires to run parallel make). Here is a test with the 
other patch:

  $ git am mk-parallelize-make-config.patch
  Applying: mk: parallelize make config
  $ rm -rf build/
  $ grep -c processor /proc/cpuinfo
  24

  $ time make config T=arm64-armv8a-linuxapp-gcc -j24
  real    0m11.253s

Here only 6 times faster than before, even when using 24 parallel 
processes.
