I'm not 100% sure it's safe to do...but back when I was fighting with a TMC-850 based SCSI card (playing with the driver #defines) I just did make zImage again without doing a make clean. This stops unchanged portions of the kernel code from being recompiled...and speeds up compilation considerably on a slow box.
