I am not sure that this has something to do with nouveau.

As far as I know the modules compilation time depend mainly on you CPU speed and the number of modules you compile.

As my guess is you don't want to or can use a more recent CPU, you could "make localmodconfig" in order to minimize the numer of modules to be buit.

I didn't receive the spec file with your email.
