Error building node template: file name too long

Question

I'm trying to build the latest substrate node template (without any modifications so far) and I'm getting the following error:

error: failed to run custom build command for `node-template-runtime v4.0.0-dev (/home/adam/substrate-node-template/runtime)`

Caused by:

Turned out it was caused by ecryptfs file name length limit which is only 143 characters (compared to 255 in most filesystems). I applied a (kinda ugly) workaround described here and mounted a new ext4 filesystem for the target directory.
