Subject: 4.18.1 "make install" issue


Something is amiss. A "make install" of an already compiled 4.18.1
kernel is taking 10 minutes or so. The same thing for a 4.17.14 kernel
takes all of a minute.

And during that 10 minutes 
or so we seem hung up on i915.ko

Here it hangs up for 10 minutes with the above "ps ax" output?
