>Description:
        The gnustep* packages can't be built when using ccache as the compiler,
        i.e, setting PKGSRC_COMPILER="ccache gcc".  I guess the same problem
        will appear if using distcc.

        The problem is that the configure script enters an infinite loop when
        calling the compiler, driving to a 'cannot fork' error that ends up
        with 'the compiler is broken'.

        I think this happens in these packages because they change PATH's
        value directly.  Buildlink3 and compiler.mk are very path sensible,
        so any differences in there can lead to problems.  (Just a guess).

>How-To-Repeat:
        Set PKGSRC_COMPILER="ccache gcc" in the environment and try to build
        devel/gnustep-make, for example.  It will consume lots of CPU and then
        abort configuration.
