IIRC, ccache promises to produce the same results as the real
compiler *only* if the compiler itself has not changed.

And IIRC, the heuristic to know if the compiler has changed is
simply to look at the timestamp of the compiler frontend
executable.

So if, for example, gas was upgraded, or something similar,
ccache wil not know about it. So maybe it's a feature, not a
bug.  Just guessing, didn't try to reproduce it.
