Implementing this is very easy, since it's already implemented,
just not by default.

What everyone seem to have forgotten is that we also have modules,
and in the "config -g" case, we also build debug versions of the
modules.  And if we're also going to install modules with debug
symbols, I think this puts the requirement for the root file
system way beyond the rational limits.
