You forget to say that I must add "/home/user/bin" to the PATH before
the default /usr/bin.

I knew you would find out the little detail i wrote wrong. Of course I
found that out by myself after I send the letter. Unfortunately it
took quite some time for the mail to be delivered so i could reply on

but the fallback to"gcc".
It may be ccache mistake, but still, the point remains. Why configure
things cc is always gcc.
