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?
