Since you included pch_defines and time_macros in CCACHE_SLOPPINESS, I
guess you've seen the instructions on
https://ccache.samba.org/manual.html#_precompiled_headers already? If so,
did you also follow the instructions about using -include or
-fpch-preprocess?

To get more information on what's happening, you can set CCACHE_LOGFILE to
a file path and then look in that file for clues.
