For example, if your project is known to require more space than the
default max cache size, then you might want to increase the cache size
to a suitable amount using the -M (--max-size) option.
The string you specify here is passed verbatim to ccache. Refer to
ccache documentation for more details.
These initial settings are applied after ccache has been compiled.

Commit 433290761f changed the hard-coded
ccache directory location to use BR_CACHE_DIR (then BUILDROOT_CACHE_DIR),
which is exported by Makefile based on the BR2_CCACHE_DIR config option.
This allowed the cache location to be changed on-the-fly by setting a
"make" command line variable, but left the default location of ccache's
normal default at "$HOME/.ccache". Since this location does not match the
default for BR2_CCACHE_DIR, it is basically almost never correct, so
direct invocation of ccache outside of the buildroot Makefile, such as for
increasing the cache size, becomes cumbersome.
This patch changes the last-ditch cache location from "$HOME/.ccache" to
the BR_CCACHE_DIR value defined when host-ccache is configured. Note that
the ability to later override the cache location by using a BR_CACHE_DIR
command line variable is left intact.

This ensures that the cache directory (and all of its ancestor
directories) exist. This is a nice thing to do because, if the parent
of the cache directory doesn't exist, then ccache will complain that
it cannot create the cache directory, causing the build to fail.

The ccache target package has been deprecated since 2013.02 and thus can be
removed in 2014.02. This does not change anything about host ccache (used
for speeding up builds).

This patch moves the host-ccache build target from BASE_TARGETS in Makefile
to an actual host prerequisite in support/dependencies. This causes
host-ccache to be built as part of the dependencies, before any real package
is built.
Since the dependencies are built without ccache anyway, there is no need to
set HOST_CCACHE_CONF_ENV anymore.

The existing ccache infrastructure sets the cache directory hardcoded in the
ccache binary. As this directory was set to ~/.buildroot-ccache, the cache
is not necessarily local (e.g. in corporate environments the home directories
may be mounted over NFS.)
Previous versions of buildroot did allow to set the cache directory, but this
was also hardcoded (so you had to rebuild ccache to change it), plus that
support was removed.
See http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2011-July/044511.html for
a discussion on this.
This patch modifies ccache to respect a new shell variable (exported from
the Makefile, based on a configuration option) instead of CCACHE_DIR.
The name CCACHE_DIR itself is already used by autotargets for the ccache
package.

This allows ccache to re-use its cache contents even if the compiler
binary mtime has changed. It is the simplest approach to solve this
problem, and it works for the internal, external and crosstool-ng
toolchain backends.
Of course, it leaves the user responsible for invalidating the cache
when necessary, but there doesn't seem to be a real good solution that
allows both to: 1/ keep the cache contents accross builds and re-use
it and 2/ invalidate the cache automatically when the compiler chances
in an incompatible way.

The problem is that without this, ccache would link against the zlib
of the build system, but we might build and install a different
version of zlib in $(O)/host afterwards, which ccache will pick
up. This might break if there is a version mismatch. A solution would
be to add host-zlib has a dependency of ccache, but it would require
tuning the zlib .mk file to use HOSTCC_NOCCACHE as the
compiler. Instead, we take the easy path: tell ccache to use its
internal copy of zlib, so that ccache has zero dependency besides the
C library.
Fixes bug #4808.

Thanks to the pkgparentdir and pkgname functions, we can rewrite the
AUTOTARGETS macro in a way that avoids the need for each package to
repeat its name and the directory in which it is present.

* ccache is now a normal package (both for the host and the target).
* ccache option is now part of the "Build options" menu. It will
automatically build ccache for the host before building anything,
and will use it to cache builds for both host compilations and
target compilations.
* bump ccache to 3.1.3
