At one time, that was true. Since then packages have increased in size.

Those numbers are more accurate since we measure them at each build:
[gcc]
Build time is: 78 minutes and 35 seconds
Build time in seconds is: 4715
Approximate SBU time is: 46.7
Disk usage before unpacking the package: 1076008 KB or 1050.789 MB
Disk usage before deleting the source and build dirs: 2812220 KB or
2746.309 MB
Required space to build the package: 1736212 KB or 1695.520 MB
Installed files disk usage: 229280 KB or 223.906 MB
This is the high water mark for me in LFS. There are some BLFS packages
that take a significant amount of space (TexLive > 1G, Iced Tea > 1G,

Disk space is pretty cheap. I generally use 10G. Right now, my disk
usage looks like:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda8 9.9G 3.3G 6.2G 35% /
tmpfs 1.5G 296K 1.5G 1% /run
/dev/sda1 99M 76M 18M 81% /boot
/dev/sda9 40G 8.8G 29G 24% /usr/src
/dev/sda11 9.9G 2.0G 7.4G 22% /home
/dev/sda5 9.9G 1.5G 7.9G 16% /mnt/lfs
But I have 1.5G in /tmp from test builds that could be deleted.
I just made a change to update for the current factors.
