I have noticed that disk usage drops in a late part of the building
process of openmoko-devel-image. I have seen several gigabytes being
freed after doing the do_stage phase of packages which happened
unexpectedly late.
If you have disk space problem try manually doing make
build-package-<pkgname> for those packages who needs lot of disk
space. This should force (I think) the stage and rm_work phase for
those packages.

Hope this helps,
