I agree that that is an option, and here is another. I'm not going to
suggest which is the better solution, that is probably up to the maintainer.

1. Create a new file /usr/local/bin/ccache-world:

#!/bin/sh
export CCACHE_NOHASH_SIZE_MTIME=1
/usr/local/bin/ccache $_at_

2. Change the instructions in the ccache port in line with my last
email, removing references to CCACHE_PATH and changing the PATH
variable. Edit /etc/make.conf:

.if !defined(NOCCACHE)
.if ${.CURDIR:M/usr/src*} || ${.CURDIR:M/usr/obj*}
CC=/usr/local/bin/ccache-world cc
CXX=/usr/local/bin/ccache-world c++
.else
CC=/usr/local/bin/ccache cc
CXX=/usr/local/bin/ccache c++
.endif
.endif

Though this does seem a rather nasty solution. But it doesn't require
users to change their habits to use ccache for kernel/world builds.
