CCACHE_TEMPDIR has no associated size - it is only used for storing
temporary files that will be deleted after usage. In some situations, for
instance if ccache is interrupted abnormally, some files may be left
undeleted in CCACHE_TEMPDIR. ccache does not perform any cleanup of the
directory.

If you are wondering about the ccache directory (CCACHE_DIR), then see
http://ccache.samba.org/manual.html#_cache_size_management.
