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?

after installing it, 'which cc' should point to ccache automatically
rather than gcc, so you shouldn't have to do anything different than
your usual build process. After building once, ccache -s should
show some stats for the stuff in cache. A subsequent make should
result in the 'cache hit' number being higher.

I hate to be dense, but thats not what the yum install ccache seems to
have done:
[root@coyote linux-2.6.19]# ls -l `which cc`
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Nov 9 08:33 /usr/bin/cc -> gcc
[root@coyote linux-2.6.19]# which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc
[root@coyote linux-2.6.19]# ls -l `which gcc`
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 197448 Oct 11 09:49 /usr/bin/gcc

I don't see any ccache mentions. :(

So I follow the manpage case 2 procedure I guess?
