12 Whoooa. Hold that thought. On a sudden realisation I tried blowing
13 away the ccache directory and switched to hardened_nopiessp and it then
14 built correctly... Very strange.

16 I was under the mistaken believe that ccache could detect when the
17 compiler was switched and would not re-use it's old cache files.
18 Certainly it was taking different amounts of time to compile when I
19 changed compiler versus re-running under the orig compiler config.
20 Obviously the cache algorithm is not perfect though.
21
22 Heads up then that when switching compiler to the non-hardened one it
23 makes sense to blow away the ccache of disable it's use.
