the script asked as advised here: https://www.stolaf.edu/people/rab/os/linux-compile.html .

However, though it built much faster, the stripped version did not trigger the bug.

I am now trying to reproduce the bug with v6.0-rc[123] with config-{051913,060000}.
This brings a lot of combinations, and though I am a newbie, I noticed that build scripts
start with "make clean" for both deb-pkg and rpm-pkg.

Is there a way to rebuild only the stuff that changed between the versions?

You can try building kernel with ccache enabled. However, you'll need
to unset build timestamp, since it will make builds non-deterministic:

make CC="ccache gcc" KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP=""

The first ccache build will be slower than normal build, because the
object files needs to be written twice (to the output directory and
to the cache), though.

Hi, Bagas,

Unfortunately, the ccache command did not work as expected. It still calls the gcc compiler proper,
even in the second run ...

I used the command line:
$ make CC="/usr/local/bin/ccache gcc" KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP="" -j10 deb-pkg

I tried to install the latest ccache (version 4.6.3), but it silently calls cc1, despite having 4GiB of cache in $HOME/.ccache ...

I must be doing something wrong. Heavens are not aligned in favour to me this day :-/
