Well, actually we did warn you, and we also provided the bootstrap-lean
target which doesn't need as much space.  From the INSTALL/BUILD file:

   If you are short on disk space you might consider "make
   bootstrap-lean" instead. This is identical to "make bootstrap" except
   that object files from the stage1 and stage2 of the 3-stage bootstrap
   of the compiler are deleted as soon as they are no longer needed.
