Note that base_dir doesn't have to be the top source directory – it can be any parent directory of the source and build directories, for instance /home. But sure, it would make sense to be able to specify several base_dir directories, for instance if you build in /top_level_1 and have the source code in /top_level_2. (Using "base_dir = /" works as well but has the side effect of making paths to system include files in /usr relative as well, which isn't optimal.) I could have sworn that there already exists an issue about implementing this but I can't find it so it seems I've only thought about it without writing it down. > This is again is a great idea.

"ccache -c" first recalculates the size counters and then trims the cache if needed, so it should be fine. > Thank you for your great support again!!
