Description

Not sure this is the right place for this but it is related to ofBorg.

I maintain the xanmod kernel and ofBorg sometimes run out of disk space because kernel builds need an insane amount of disk space for BTF files (>30GiB last time I checked).

Could something be done about that?

Research direction

Start by tracing ofBorg's build-directory handling and the kernel-build path described in the issue; no file or test is named. Determine how large BTF-producing builds are affected by available disk space, then verify that the chosen change prevents these builds from failing because the build directory is too small.
