One of the reasons I'm asking is because ccache staleness has been a real issue in my experience. I gave up on ccache for that reason a long time ago – between the extra overhead, relatively low cache hit rate, and inability to help with link overhead, the win is relatively small on modern machines.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't fix things that are obviously wrong, but it is odd that something like this wouldn't show up in direct builds — my numerous people and robots.
