I agree with you there, Mike, but I think the bug originally described in <
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8460> could possibly be valid.
 If you are compiling from a .i or .ii file, the -D and -I options can't
have any effect.  It's reasonable for clang to emit a warning about it, and
it would be reasonable for ccache to strip those options when compiling a
preprocessed file.
