Hi,
The following patch set introduces ccache to Replicant 6.
Ccache is a compiler cache for C/C++ [1] licensed under the GNU GPL
version 3 [2].
Including it speeds up the build time for me about 1/3.
The following environment variables can be set to use ccache:
USE_CCACHE: setting it enables ccache during the build [3]
CCACHE_DIR: allows to set a custom directory where compiled files are
cached.
Otherwise the files will be stored at $HOME/.ccache [4]
Running ./toolchain/ccache/ccache -M SIZE allows the user to modify the
maximum size of files
that are stored. Note that you have to put the unit directly after the size
so setting the size at 50GB has to be done the following way:
./toolchain/ccache/ccache -M 50G [4]

Patches:
The first patch must be applied to the manifest to track the latest
stable version available on GitHub:

The second patch must be applied to build/core to change the ccacke.mk
file according to our needs:

The last patch must be applied to vendor/replicant to build our own
ccache binary while building the toolchain:
