Thanks, do I bug you that much you actually remember what architecture I'm 
running? LOL (René said "And give it a spin with a fresh x86-64 build" and I 
didn't even mention my architecture :) )

I hope the compiler cache works it might speed up my build time as GCC takes an 
age to compile as probably everyone knows.

I did try "svn diff" when you suggested it but I couldn't get it to work. I 
shall try the 2 new commands when I get a chance, as I like trying new things. 
I'm still a newbie when it come to Linux but I think I'm managing ok so far, 
working in IT and having some programming background helps.

I will bash out a few patches (openntpd, php and linux-igd(new)) this evening 
after installing my latest build.

Thanks

Adam

In theory it should indeed just work. We disabled ccache during gcc 
explicitly,
because we experienced some rather hard to track cache miss-use building
multilib gcc variants (those supporting more than one target architecture,
such as i386/x86-64, ppc(32)/ppc64, or sparc(32)/sparc64 at a time).

If you want to investigate this, remove the conditional from:
package/develop/ccache/parse-config

 if [ "$pkg" == gcc -a "$SDECFG_MULTILIB" = 1 ]; then
        : # in GCC multilib builds the ccache hash currently collides 
(or so)
...

And give it a spin with a fresh x86-64 build, if you are lucky it
even just works these days :-)

PS: "svn blame" and "svn log" are usually a great help to get an idea
why some specific code is there.

Yours,
