There is an open question that I posed on emacs.stackexchange.com nearly two 
years ago:

https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/34362/how-to-build-emacs-without-byte-compiling-lisp-files

The current build time for the master branch is over 30 minutes, and seems like 
approximately 45 minutes, but I have not timed it exactly.  A command-line 
option to skip byte-compilation when building Emacs would greatly enhance the 
productivity of people contributing to the development of Emacs.  There are 
also threads that I have seen in the past couple of years looking for ways to 
quickly build Emacs for something called "unit testing":

https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/14043/build-a-minimal-emacs-25-for-unit-testing

I would suggesting creating a build option such as "--byte-compile=no" or 
"--without-byte-compile".

Two months later, I'm now also closing this bug report.
