I'm fairly sure it's not supported;
I remember seeing an ancient patch to add this on savannah, but I hadn't
noticed it when new. It might be easy to apply, but I suspect it's too old to
be helpful.
Even if I had seen it I'm not sure I'd have jumped in to apply it myself, since
I've never been on a system with so little disk space that I needed/wanted to
build that way.
