glibc's build requirements sound like about 20-30 times installed size,
then. Assuming this holds, and trusting the 8GB figure, gives
160--240GB.
That's all of three 100GB IDE disks running in RAID 0. Four disks if for
some reason you want redundancy on your cache.
Surely no more than $1000, even if you buy from expensive vendors. At
least if it fits in the machine's case. You could do it for $500. Is it
worth it? Not sure. Maybe on real slow archs, like 68K.
Now, not sure if ccache can handle that. Packages.debian.org had never
heard of ccache :-(
