For 1 eggdrop, how many space is needed on standard *nix shell?

Whatever the directory size happens to be at the time and that all depends on how many files are in that directory.

Pretty much as Alchera says, it's hard to predict your speciffic usage...

A few "average" figures however (assuming you don't have huge database-scripts or keep logs forever):

Fresh source: ~6 MB
Fresh normal build: ~12 MB
Fresh normal install: ~4 MB
Fresh debug build: ~25 MB
Fresh debug install: ~9 MB

Keep in mind that the actual size will also depend on compiler, libraries, etc available on the system.

Also add a few Megs to account logfiles, userfiles, and so forth.

A "normal" eggie should have no problem fitting in 10 MB quota, as long as you can build it outside the quota (man systems have a /tmp filesystem, use it).
However, if you have to build it in your home directory, I'd say you need atleast some 15-20 MB quota.

Also keep in mind, that you do not need multiple binaries to run several bots, just another userfile, configfile and such...
