Summary:                    ccache
Description: 
Hello,

1) ccache is built at the end of the toolchain (gcc/uclibc/binutils). It
serves for nothing (ok I except if you slected other package it may...).

2) the ccache_dir is fixed inside 'toolchain_build_i486' It would be
better if the  CCACHE_DIR could be setup somewhere else outside
'buildroot'.
Why? In automated procedure constructing distro, buildroot.tar.gz is
expanded then configured then built as all other packages making the
distro.
It means everytime, buildroot dir is like a virgin.. ;-) No ccache_dir
inside.

but if ccache_dir is outside....ok, it will be preserved accross rebuilds
and the final touch would have ccache used for ALL the toolchain
construction...!


Adding a new option in 'make menuconfig' is beyond my knowledge of
buildroot for now.
