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 :-( -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
