That's also one of the reasons why I didn't ack the complete patch. I do coreboot development on my work machine which happens to be a laptop with not enough hard disk space. I would have to delete some stuff to run the new abuild.
Of the 1.6GB, nearly 400mb are the .disasm files, so it splits up as: 700mb baseline 400mb disasm 500mb debug symbols in object files
It would be trivial to comment out the disasm commands, so those files aren't created by default. (the new lines in src/config/Config.lb) It might also be reasonably simple to enable them with some option.
As for the debug symbols, I don't know enough about the build system to say how complex it is to enable/disable those options "on demand". Given that they're necessary in each mainboard directory, that looks harder for me.
