You create a separate directory of ccache symlinks and put it on the
PATH before the distcc symlink-dir:

    export PATH="/usr/libexec/ccache/bin:/usr/libexec/distcc/bin:$PATH"

As long as you have a "gcc" symlink (for instance) to /usr/bin/ccache in
that ccache masq dir, it will run ccache first, which runs distcc, which
runs the real compiler.  You can then control which masqerading programs
to use by just tweaking the PATH (and leave CC unset or set to "gcc").
