For some continuing work on another thread, I have been keeping up to date with the various 3.10RC kernels, and now 3.11RC1. There are a significant number of kernel configuration changes between the final 3.10 and 3.11RC1, so I decided to load the ubuntu 3.11RC1 just to get the ubuntu version of the kernel config. However, when trying to compile the kernel with that configuration, it takes much much longer than normal and ends up absolutely enormous. I guess I'll go back to the config I was using (basically, the 3.10 one with defaults accepted for the new stuff), and then try again with 3.11RC2.

Edit: I found the problem. For whatever reason debug info was being requested in the Ubuntu 3.11RC1 version.
