Hm, I think that's rather big....here after compilation (of course, my
.config is likely different than yours), 2.6.36 takes approximately
1.7 GiB

Together with the object files during linking stage, I believe :)

Yup...

AFAIK, /lib/modules/<version>/build is symlink-ed to that source code
dir, so IMHO don't delete it..

files?
I think the best way here is to do "make clean" and then followed by
"make modules_prepare". That way, your kernel source dir is build with
files enough to compile external modules whenever needed, but not too
bloated

Hi Rishi,
One other thing that might help is not compiling a debug build if you dont need it. Debug objects are much bigger of course. If you're ending up at 4.4GB it sounds like a build with debugging on.

yes I have some debugging options set.
The current usage (after make clean and modules_prepare ) is around 867M.
Thanks a lot...
