build.sh errors when enabling kernel hacking -> system trace

[Derek Johansen]

Running sudo ./build.sh

when the menu comes up to select the configuration options I select:

kernel hacking -> system trace

The build script errors out as follows:

ld86 -0 -M  -s -o boot/bootsect boot/bootsect.o > boot/bootsect.map

You've got too many things compiled in. The current kernel tries to keep
all the kernel process stacks in its data segment so is very very short
on space.
