When doing a "make" inside an already compiled kernel source there 
shouldn't be anything rebuilt. I've identified three places where this 
isn't the case in recent 2.6 kernels:

1. ikconfig
  CC      kernel/configs.o
even when the .config wasn't changed

2. pnmtologo
The following happens again once, but not when doing a third "make":
  ./scripts/pnmtologo -t mono -n logo_linux_mono -o drivers/video/logo/logo_linux_mono.c drivers/video/logo/logo_linux_mono.pbm
  CC      drivers/video/logo/logo_linux_mono.o
  ./scripts/pnmtologo -t vga16 -n logo_linux_vga16 -o drivers/video/logo/logo_linux_vga16.c drivers/video/logo/logo_linux_vga16.ppm
  CC      drivers/video/logo/logo_linux_vga16.o
  ./scripts/pnmtologo -t clut224 -n logo_linux_clut224 -o drivers/video/logo/logo_linux_clut224.c drivers/video/logo/logo_linux_clut224.ppm
  CC      drivers/video/logo/logo_linux_clut224.o

       "Is there not promise of rain?" Ling Tan asked suddenly out
        of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.
       "Only a promise," Lao Er said.
