You should probably fix your build script,

ccache should help:

Only if you _allow_ the problem that makes ccache necessary.  Which we 
don't.

You do, for some definition of "problem".

make
git checkout whatever
make
git checkout where-you-were-before
make # <--- this one

The last make is correct with plain git and plain make, but it can be
slow. With a cache in your build system, it can just reuse the objects
created during the first "make". It doesn't change correctness, only
performance.
