This raises the question of whether we want to generalize this in some
way: should we be doing the ccache wrapper thing in a generic way, and
use it everywhere? Since we already have a wrapper for external
toolchain tools, does it really make sense to have a shell wrapper
around a C wrapper? Should we have a single C wrapper used in all cases
(internal, external, crosstool-ng), that handles everything?

I don't (yet) have a strong opinion on this, I just wanted to have a
more global reflection about wrappers, and avoid creating many
wrappers to solve different problems.

Best regards,

Thomas
