I have a couple of old machines I maintain and emerging and unmerging
kernel sources take a while because there are so many files. Also one
set of gentoo sources takes about 230MB of disk space. By removing stuff
not belonging to x86 I was able to succesfully run make with 58MB/230MB
removed. The stuff I removed:
arch/* except i386 and x86_64
include/asm-* expect asm-generic, asm-i386 and asm-x86_64

So I propose we implement a minimal USE flag in the kernel-2 eclass that
would make the cleaning I succested before the merging. One problem
coming from the clean is that make clean does not work and at the moment
it is run before unmerging, which is of course a good thing. If the
kernel devs think this is a good idea, I can make an implementation for
this.
