Thanks for the bug report!

ccache started with PID 27203.

Running the preprocessor in child with PID 27204.

Running the real compiler in child with PID 27215. Looks good so far.

However, this is unexpected. Where did PID 26882 come from? The error
later in the log is a consequence of PID 26882 removing the indicated
file.

Judging from time stamps, it looks as if the compiler somehow has
called ccache, perhaps when executing some internal helper program.
How peculiar.

Does the log contain more rows for PID 26882?

Which ccache version did you use?
