Thanks for this info. CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO does save a bunch of disk
space.
It goes from ~7GB -> ~1.5GB which is much more reasonable.
I think --without debug would be a good addition to this. Miguel, can
you send out another version of this patch with --without debug
added?
Yes! I can do that.

Thanks everyone for your feedback! I am starting to get very familiar
with the different tools and components in the kernel. I do have to
admit that the spec file is an intimidating file at first not only
that, but the kernel in general. I am eager to keep on learning and
contribute to the best of my abilities.
Regards,
Miguel
