So a kernel alone has 12MB, with debug symbols 62MB (12+50).
And all *.symbols files can be deleted (if more space on /boot is needed)
I don't know how it should be mentioned in FAQ.

Specifying WITHOUT_KERNEL_SYMBOLS=YES in src.conf to not generate debug
information IMO is a cleaner and more preferable solution then deleting the
files, and it also reduces the amount of storage space needed for /usr/obj (or
whereever else the kernel's built) by about 1GB on STABLE-9.
Thanks for this (man 5 src.conf)
I guess this way is preferred instead of customizing the kernel
configuration file?
From the manpage I understand the symbol files will not get installed,
but will still be build.
To decrease building time, one should modify the kernel configuration
file anyway?
