Hello
When I was building Android source code on our building server, which many
people share this machine and use ccache. I got an error that it tried to stat
other people's system headers! After some debugging, I found that wrong
dependency file was generated from the ccache.
it was caused by
- ccache is using direct mode
- Every android source tree has prebuilt toolchain
- Android compiles the C/C++ code with dependency file generated
- We replaced Android prebuilt ccache with the ccache 3.1.7
In such case, ccache just returns a wrong dependcency file, in which it
contains the system headers with absolute path to other person's directory! I
think that direct mode is not safe when dependency file will be generated. This
issue happens even on the latest ccache. I made a patch to solve it, as
follows. Of course, setting CCACHE_NODIRECT or CCACHE_UNIFY can solve the above
building problem, but doing such will totally disable direct mode, we will not
benefit from it.
Is there better solution?

Enabling direct mode is not safe when dependency file is generated.
As the dependency file contains the absolute paths to the system headers,
wrong dependency file can be returned if toochain's location is changed.
This typically happens when multiple Android source trees are built on the
same machine. (Every android source tree contains a copy of toolchain)
