Hi everybody!

I am attempting to build gcc 2.1, and have found that the fairly
innocent-looking 6M tar file expands into a not so innocent 16M, which
in turn becomes over 30M once compilation begins.  It is at this point
when I run out of disk space.  

==> How much disk space is required to build the beastie?

Thanks,
Bruno.
