Intersting idea. I have little experience with ccache. It's only useful 
from the second time on a package is compiled, right? Builder normally 
compiles a package only once. I'm curious to know what the ccache 
penalty is. If it makes Builder run a lot longer I'd rather not include 
it by default.

I guess ccache only works when the binaries are not removed between 
compiles. Builder removes $WORKINGDIR every time before building a 
package. Can you explain how ccache can do its thing then?
