You can turn off debuginfo, perf, and tools, and that will make the
RPM build go faster. Just run rpmbuild and pass --without perf
--without tools --without debuginfo.
disable CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO entirely. That cuts off a fair bit.
Also disable as many of the drivers you don't use by subsystem.
For eg, you probably don't use ISDN, but rather than disabling the drivers
one by one, just turn off CONFIG_ISDN.
Same for CONFIG_SOUND, CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_* etc..
You can probably strip down a config pretty quickly this way.
