I don't understand why it works without ccache. In general, I would prefer we have a mechanism to update the cross file on the fly, depending on the setup. We have this for toolchain prefix name. The prefix depends on where the toochain comes from. In a "normal" build system, we set the prefix with an environment variable, not by writing a file.
