I checked that it uses the correct ccache.conf and ccache dir.

I did the same thing this time as before -- I manually ran
"ccache -c".

Even now the number it reports is smaller by a few G than
what du -sh reveals, and it says there are many more files
in the cache than find reveals.

I suspect it either doesn't do proper bookkeeping or gets
confused if you ^Ced a build at the wrong time. It does
seem to update $CCACHE_DIR/?/stats files.

ccache -c took a very long time. ktrace shows it does
the equivalent of 
for each file f to be deleted
  rename $f $f.ccache.rm.tmp
  unlink $f.ccache.rm.tmp

Not sure why the rename is needed.
