     Well, the instructions in that file say,

	To use ccache for base add the following to /etc/make.conf.   You
	can  replace  cc and c++ with the compilers of your choice.  (re-
	member that only GCC and Clang can build world and kernel)

	&&                     exists(/usr/local/libexec/ccache/world/cc)
	CC:=${CC:C,^cc,/usr/local/libexec/ccache/world/cc,1}
	CXX:=${CXX:C,^c++,/usr/local/libexec/ccache/world/c++,1}

which was why I had put those three lines into /etc/make.conf.  On your
suggestion, I moved them to /root/.profile and /root/.cshrc.extensions,
with the results that in the csh case, I got (as expected) the

	Badly placed ()'s.

error.  sh gave no errors, so I started a buildworld, which has been running
for a little while already, but with no evidence to be found (e.g., no
counters increasing in "ccache -s" output, no ccache seen running in top,
the only instances of ccache in lastcomm(1) output are the ones I entered
manually to check the counters) that ccache is being used by buildworld at
all.  I have not yet tried any ports updates to see whether addition of
those three lines to .profile had any adverse effect upon that process.
     Thanks for the try, though.
