> Fair warning: compiling a kernel on the Pi itself takes several hours.
One nit: this should only take about 40 minutes on a Pi 5, assuming you're compiling with -j6 to use all the cores.
(Still faster to cross-compile)

well, the tricky detail here (which we do not mention in the post, our bad) is that we got the raspbian config (cp /boot/config ... .config && make oldconfig) which includes most modules, and that's why it took more.
But yeap, good point about using the -j flag, it really accelerates the build!

Using distcc networked compilation instead of cross-compiling is reasonably fast too and easier to set up if one isn't familiar with either.
