I hate to be dense, but thats not what the yum install ccache seems to 
have done:
[root at coyote linux-2.6.19]# ls -l `which cc`
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Nov  9 08:33 /usr/bin/cc -> gcc
[root at coyote linux-2.6.19]# which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc
[root at coyote linux-2.6.19]# ls -l `which gcc`
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 197448 Oct 11 09:49 /usr/bin/gcc

I don't see any ccache mentions. :(

So I follow the manpage case 2 procedure I guess?
