Is this released? I build most of my kernels for both x86 and PowerPC, plus I build several configurations for diskless clients from the same source tree.

About 30MB for a cross-compilation environment capable of building kernels. Then add whatever libraries you need if you want to build userspace, and another 5 or so MB for C++. It's less than a built kernel tree.
