From the URL you provided:
: How to use it
:
: You can use ccache in two ways. The first is just to prefix your
: compile commands with "ccache". For example, you could change
: the "CC=gcc" line in your Makefile to be "CC=ccache gcc".
In our case, it would mean:
make buildworld CC="/usr/local/bin/ccache cc"
