For now at least, the Developer Tools (including the documentation)
really need to exist on the root volume. Having parts of the Developer
Tools on different volumes (using symlinks) is not a supported
configuration. I would strongly suggest moving to a larger root volume
(and yes, I personally know how painful that is :(). In the future it
would be nice to decouple the Developer Tools from the root volume, but
for today we are stuck with this constraint.
