    make KBUILD_NOCMDDEP=1
    will do what you want - at least I have it in my tree now.
    I could not just ignore 'gcc' - but had to ignore the full commandline.

    This is due to more complex commands like:
    rm -f file; $(LD) ...

    Within the Makefile.lib when I check KBUILD_NOCMDDEP there is no
    knowledge of the actual command being executed. And an implmentation
    that just filtered out $(CC) was too ugly.
    And due to the above mentioned command I could not just skip the first
    word on the command line.

    I will push my bk tree soon and it will show up in next -mm.

    It is not perfect in the sense that the last part of the build will get
    redone (GEN .version and onwards). This is fixable but not worth it
    right now.

    So with current implmentation executing:

    make

    make KBUILD_NOCMDDEP=1 CROSS_COMPILE=i586-pc-linux-gnu-

    will result in only a few files being rebuild - and not the whole
    kernel as before.
