  You detect that it is the same code by forming a hash of:

    * the command line options
    * the real compilers size and modification time
    * any stderr output generated by the compiler 

You need to make sure these are the same on both machines.  ccache
doesn't have any easy way to compare them automatically as far as I
know.  Basically I suppose you should just work through this list and
try to work out what is different.

So for hello_world.c you see hits from the second machine as soon as
it's compiled?  I guess that tells you that at least some of the
headers and the compiler are the same.

Maybe somebody who knows more about Gentoo could help?
