If you're using ccache ('make CROSS_COMPILE="ccache "'), it may be
much faster to just build everything, than to try to find a config subset that
contains everything you need. And the further in the bisection process, the
less that needs to be recompiled.

Good luck!

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
