A few things (that you may know already):

- You can speed this up by deleting the other sh4 flavour definition in
  debian/config/sh4/defines.toml.
- Run "debian/rules debian/control-real" before building (and after
  deleting the other flavour).
- If you are cross building, use the "cross" build-profile.
- You can skip building user-space packages by using the
  "pkg.linux.notools" build profile.  (Without that, cross-build-
  dependencies may often be unsatisfiable due to version skew.)
