I have a ~340mb partition on my hp300 which holds source, object code for 
the hp300, and partial object code for the i386 (I haven't finished 
compiling that one yet, so I wont' give an estimate...)

I usually do this:

cd /usr/src
make clean
(cd include; make install)
(cd lib; make depend; make; make install)
make depend; make; make install

If any of the global makefiles have changed, I install those first, but 
that doesn't happen too often...

Later...
