I don't think there's any cache pollution after this change - the pollution
the comment was referencing was that ccache's cache would be filled with
entries for files that would *never* be used and would therefore be
useless. With this change the added use of ccache will just accelerate the CI
runs, which I wouldn't consider polluting...
