I'm more relying on a hunch right now, than on a sound analysis. Maybe I'm
wrong...
I have to take a closer look at how ccache proceeds to speed up compilation
and precisely at how gcc internally uses I/O functions, to be more
articulate on the subject.
Maybe I could slowly and publicly form a detailed answer to your question,
as I improve my understanding of what's at stake (without being too much of
a nuisance for this mailing list) as in the link you provide? Something like
an "assignment agenda" as in the link?
Thank you for all the information.
