Is Gobo using/supporting ccache? It really does save time on those big
builds at the expense of a little disk space. It would solve a lot of
the problem about compiling the big packages.

I don't think you can - at least, Gentoo had to get permission to
brand it Firefox (it was "Deer Park" all over until recently), and
they (of course) have it compiled independently. I'm not sure that
there's really any legal basis to that, since if you're not
distributing it you don't actually have to agree to the licence terms
in any way I can see, but it does appear to be policy.
