The problem is that i686-w64-mingw32-gcc is created (via the alternatives mechanism) after ccache's postinst script has run, so ccache currently has no way of detecting that compiler name. A workaround is to run /usr/sbin/update-ccache-symlinks manually to install the symlinks. Essentially the same bug as #632779. -- Joel
