[ccache] build octave with ccache causes segfault when checkinstall

[Joel Rosdahl]

Hi Kim,

You forgot to say which version of ccache and checkinstall you are using.

There was a bug fix in ccache 3.1.6 related to this, but I guess you
already know that since you chose to continue the mail thread started in
2011 and reuse formulations from Andreas Weber's original mail? :-) See
http://www.mail-archive.com/ccache%40lists.samba.org/msg00687.html for the
thread start.

I just checked the latest checkinstall code in
http://checkinstall.izto.org/checkinstall.git and it seems like its wrapped
getcwd still has the bug I described in
http://www.mail-archive.com/ccache%40lists.samba.org/msg00701.html, so a
bug report against checkinstall would be in order.

If you are using ccache 3.1.6 and newer, there is still something that
should be fixed in ccache.
