Removing the ccache directory as part of do_clean is unnecessarily conservative and defeats many of the benefits of ccache.
The original justification for this behaviour was to avoid confusion in the corner case that the ccache directory becomes corrupted. However the standard approach for dealing with such highly unlikely corner cases (ie manually removing tmp) would also recover from corruption of the ccache directories, without the negative impact of defeating ccache during normal development.
