Quick build of stripped-down kernel

[Brett Glass]

Everyone:

Happy Thanksgiving! This week, I've been building FreeBSD 9.0-RC2 
kernels for various machines, and on some of the older and slower 
ones it's been taking quite a long time. One of the reasons for 
this is that even if you strip 98% of the drivers out of the 
kernel, they are all still built as loadable modules. The machines 
in question will NEVER use those modules, so it's a waste of time 
and disk space.

How hard would it be to create a build target for "make" that would 
avoid building the loadable modules and just leave them out of the 
directory where the new kernel is placed after installation? I am 
not intimately familiar with the cascade of makefiles that does the 
build.... I could probably figure out what to tweak, but if someone 
who is expert in this can help it would be appreciated. It would 
save me countless hours.
