I managed to get it over 70M one time, but that was partially because
I built an extra stage.  Following the steps in the INSTALL doc, you'll
wind up with some extra stuff, but you pretty much have to keep some
stuff around while bootstrapping.  Here are a few things you can do 
to cut down on occupied space:

1) When you get to step #8 in INSTALL, see if you can put the stage 1
   files somewhere else besides a subdir of the current dir; on another
   filesystem on another drive, maybe a subdir of /tmp (?).  See the
   Makefile under 'stage1:' (near the end of Makefile) to change where
   these intermediate files go.

2) After you've build the stage 2 compiler in INSTALL step #9 (if you
   can get this far), the stage 1 files are junk -- they're the gcc
   built with your machine's native cc.  Before you run the test pass
   of building the stage 3 compiler, you can zap the stage 1 files.

3) Don't build all the languages at once.  Specify "LANGUAGES = c"
   for all the build stages, and build c++ and objective-c (if you
   want them) later, after installing the first gcc.

Hope this helps.	-- Vince
