It builds three copies of the compiler, so it can take up a lot of space. From the installation docs: If you are short on disk space you might consider make bootstrap-lean instead. This is identical to make bootstrap except that object files from the stage1 and stage2 of the 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler are deleted as soon as they are no longer needed. Try "make bootstrap-lean".

I'm trying to make bootstrap4-lean with over a gig free, and I am getting errors due to no disk space low and behold, it's true, the gcc make has used up over a gig is this normal? how much disk space does it usually take up, so that I can see if the note from the install instructions will be of any use -- - Mike Wyatt
