Hi Linus, not sure whom to address on this issue.
I have built Linux v4.9-rc1, v4.8.2 and v4.4.25 kernels (in this order) this morning. Building a Linux v4.8.2 under Linux v4.9-rc1 took two times longer. As usually I build with 2 parallel-make-jobs. This takes approx. 30mins. Under Linux v4.9-rc1 it took approx. an hour. My system is a Ubuntu/precise AMD64 (WUBI installation). I use my normal build-environment. If you need further informations, please let me know.
