I'd be a bit sad if we did, because where I usually do coverage checking
is my RHEL6 box, which has

$ ccache --version
ccache version 3.1.6

I'll probably bite the bullet and upgrade that box sometime in the
next year or so, but it's not really a near-term project.  Is there
any big hurry for having ccache for coverage builds?
