How to just build Android system image

I made some small changes in framework/base, and did a "mm" under that folder. Now I don't want to run "make" on the project root because the makefile including process is very slow.

Is there a quick way to just build the system image without going through the lengthy including process?

If your changes effect other applications, use make systemimage, otherwise use make snod.

Notice:make systemimage will check dependency during compile progress, while make snod will not do this check, so the former command need more time than the latter.
