Is this safe? Various parts of the kernel have been known to pull in
things from outside the obvious places. I don't think the source tree
is intended to be used like this, so your proposal could lead to build
errors. Besides, does this really matter? Disk space grows on trees,
and with modern file systems it's not like limited inode counts are an
issue.
