Did you read the FAQ which is referenced at the bottom of each and
every message from linux-kernel? It discusses the issue and why things
won't change.

No, you compile your kernel on a decent machine. Or get a bigger
disc. Or download a precompiled kernel from one of the popular
distributions. People compiling kernels are expected to have plenty of
disc space. Think of it as an entry requirement. Don't expect it to
change.
