    Implementing this is very easy, since it's already implemented,
    just not by default.

    What everyone seem to have forgotten is that we also have modules,
    and in the "config -g" case, we also build debug versions of the
    modules. And if we're also going to install modules with debug
    symbols, I think this puts the requirement for the root file
    system way beyond the rational limits.
