True but if they "just work" and can be added easily in terms of the
configure system etc. then there is little point in /not/ adding them :)
OK it may not "solve the problem" but every little helps.

Granted the linking is not affected, but certainly when building MythTV
(which takes an age!), it is substantially sped up by using ccache, so I
figured I'd mention it in response to the queries about speeding up
developers compiling time.
