That's abuse of the CC variable.  Only if treated as part of a command 
line (as opposed to a single command) will it work.

The CC variable is not supposed to hold a part of a commandline, but a 
single command.


As is documented in its man page, when ccache is used in an environment 
too large to compose the commandline by hand, use the alternative 
approach of symlinked commands instead of appending ccache in front of 
the actual compiler name.


Kind regards,

 - Jonas
