make install does that for you

I haven't done a "make install" in quite a while as it managed to
trash me to the extent I had to boot in rescue mode from a cd and fix
it.

The usual way people screw this up is by not doing the 'make
modules_install' *before* the 'make install'. That's the fast path to
a busted initrd.

timestamps and checksums of the source files (to find out if they
changed since the last build) and a cache of compiled objects in
~/.ccache/

That dir doesn't exist here except in /root, and that listing doesn't
indicate its useful to me.

it'll get auto-created when you start using it.

Is this some utility I need to install to
enable it?

yum install ccache should dtrt.

Mmm, reading the manpage isn't very concise about how to use it. I don't
have a (G)CC env var set, but it looks like that method could be used
(something like "CC=ccache; export CC" maybe) , so I have to ask can it,
so my scripts, which do all this with a "make bzImage" or "make modules"
commands apparently wouldn't need any changes?
