Some userful make targets from the petalinux-dist directory:

make linux
make lib_only
make user_only
make romfs
make image

So if you have a busybox issue, you can do "make user_only romfs
image" and it will only do what is required.

That said, the make process is smart enough not to rebuild unnecessary
targets - it is curious why the kernel would recompile if you made no
change to the kernel sources or config.  Are you building on an NFS
mount or something like that?  Sometimes clock skew can cause
problems.

Regards,

John
