you are referring to the ccache parameter? yes I know, I'm using it; but
since the cc file names are still quite easily guessable, the possibility
of the root compromise remains (unless there is some misconfiguration on
my part, which I'm still not sure about -- the behvior is just too
strange).

Will try to produce some more information.

Best regards
