[ccache] build octave with ccache causes segfault when checkinstall

[Andreas Weber]

Dear maintainers,

if I try to build the latest octave development source with ccache and
afterwards checkinstall, the process fails on checkinstall. The whole
procedure:

apt-get install git mercurial autoconf automake flex bison gperf gnuplot
libreadline5-dev libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev libatlas-base-dev fftw3-dev
libglpk-dev libsuitesparse-dev libarpack2-dev libhdf5-mpich-dev
libpcre3-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libqhull-dev gfortran libfltk1.1-dev
libgraphicsmagick++1-dev transfig epstool libhdf5-serial-dev
libfontconfig1-dev texlive

wget
http://sourceforge.net/projects/qrupdate/files/qrupdate/1.1/qrupdate-1.1.1.tar.gz
tar xzf qrupdate-1.1.1.tar.gz
cd qrupdate-1.1.1/
make lib
sudo make install
cd ..

export CXX="ccache g++"
export CC="ccache gcc"

hg clone http://www.octave.org/hg/octave
cd octave
[remove depth=2 in bootstrap line 500, to fix git+gnulib problem]
./autogen.sh
cd ..
mkdir build_octave && cd build_octave
../octave/configure --enable-shared --disable-static
--build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
...
make -j5

This looks like ccache causes a segfault. I have reproduced this on
different machines over the last 4 months.

If I run checkinstall without ccache it completes without error.

So my big questions are:
Am I doing something wrong in building octave?
Do you have the same problems when using ccache and checkinstall.
Should I fill a bug report against ccache (my guess) or checkinstall?

Some infos and versions:
