ccache "replaces" the compiler calls, i.e. the Makefile calls ccache, which 
the calls the actual compiler if it doesn't find a cached result.

You can use any technique you want to make the build system pick up ccache 
instead of the actual compiler.  I've mentioned a couple of those, the ccache 
documentation has additional ones.

Cheers,
Kevin
