I use it in my personal computer, but I was told by Hisham some time
ago that potential bugs could appear when switching compiler versions
(at least on previous ccache releases); doing that would make objects
compiled with a previous gcc version to be used to link with those
compiled with the new one (it wasn't smart at the point of recompiling
the cached files).

If you can test that and assert that it doesn't happen anymore I'd be
very happy to start using it again :-)
