You could set $CCACHE_DIR, which seems less kludgy to me.

Because you have built your kernel with CONFIG_KITCHENSINK=3Dm?

% du -h /lib/modules/$(uname -r)
9.9M /lib/modules/2.6.24-tuxonice-r3

Hmmm, it's 22MB on my desktop, time to start pruning .config.

% df -h /
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5 reiserfs 385M 189M 196M 50% /

That includes /boot with two kernels.
