You don't have to make it debuggable to let it take up lots of room...
If you don't go through and clean up after portage, it tends to eat a
lot of hard drive space... I play with this system *a lot* ... and
regularly clear out 2+ GB (which is significant since Linux has 10GB of
space on this ol' laptop).
