I'm not too sure how much I like using /var for large things like this
either. Certain programs like mysql and mailers tend to use /var by
default and by default we have tiny /var partitions if you're trying to
store mail or databases. Adding lots of debugging binaries to /var will
severely limit that. I think our default for /var is the same as / infact,
not certain on this though.

Only place I can think outside of root that is sufficeintly large would be
/usr. /usr/local/kernel.debug?
