+Fix QMAKE_CXX/CROSS_COMPILE verification with ccache
+
+The use of ccache leads to QMAKE_CXX definitions of the form:
+
+    QMAKE_CXX = $${CCACHE} $${CROSS_COMPILE}g++
+
+The previous test required QMAKE_CXX to be a single valid (absolute or
+QMAKE_PATH_ENV-relative) path to an existing file, which was not
+compatible with definitions of QMAKE_CXX like the one above.
+
+Fix this by using only the first value in QMAKE_CXX, which usually
+points to the compiler executable, or to the ccache executable in the
+above case.
