Um, that's wonderful. But does glibc build lots of object files which get
discarded or something?

I understand that it's traditional for the tone of debian-devel to be
overwhelmingly negative, but in this case I think you have erred.
Building glibc (2.2.5-3) from source results in packages with a total
installed size of 45,296. The ccache stats show a cache size 153,476
which is about 3 times as large.
If this is indicative, a complete debian build would use 24GB, and I
would say that a cache of a few GB would be a win (given not all
packages get built as frequently).
Also, a build farm could be optimized to usually build the same package
on the same machine, optimizing the cache furthur.
