1. Under kernel 2.6.0-testx, the compiling process always uses huge disk
space.
2. Unlike under 2.4.x kernel, the compiling process of 2.6.0-testx used and
exhausted about 500MB hard disk space. The /lib/modules/2.6.0-test10
directory occupied 114920 kb. I don't know why the modules use so huge
space. But in 2.4.x, /lib/modules/2.4.23 directory is 15232 kb. The .config
file I used to compile the kernel are the same.
3. Keyword: compiling process, hard disk space.

Do you have CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO enabled? Try turning it off.
I have not tried to compile with it on but there were other complaints
about larger *kernel* images, and the config help (arch/i386/Kconfig)
says:
config DEBUG_INFO
bool "Compile the kernel with debug info"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
help
If you say Y here the resulting kernel image will include
debugging info resulting in a larger kernel image.
Say Y here only if you plan to use gdb to debug the kernel.
If you don't debug the kernel, you can say N.
