	You are not alone.
	On a system running:

FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT r344207   amd64

	I can no longer build large programs - e.g. www/webkit*,
devel/llvm* - using "WITH_DEBUG=yes" because it will inevitably
consume 22+ gbytes of disk space.  (I complained about this before,
and had no answer as to what was going on or how to fix it.)  This did
not happen under 11.*.   


		Respectfully,
