Hello.

I have tried to get Buildroot (latest from git) to build Qt5 with ccache. Some
of the packages (at least) does it by defining the compiler to be something
like "$(CCACHE) $(TARGET_CROSS)". I tried to change the
package/qt/qt5base/qt5base.mk file to change the
output/build/qt5base-5.1.1/mkspecs/devices/linux-buildroot-g++/qmake.conf file
in such a way that ccache will work, but it fails.

It fails with:
Running configuration tests...
Failed to process makespec for platform 'devices/linux-buildroot-g++'
Project ERROR: CROSS_COMPILE needs to be set via -device-option
CROSS_COMPILE=<path>
Could not read qmake configuration file
/home/espenfk/imx6/buildroot/output/build/qt5base-5.1.1/mkspecs/devices/linux-buildroot-g++/qmake.conf.
Error processing project file: /dev/null

I have tried many things from the most obious and easy: patch line 230 in
package/qt/qt5base/qt5base.mk to:
$(call QT5BASE_CONFIG_SET,BUILDROOT_CROSS_COMPILE,$(CCACHE) $(TARGET_CROSS))

to use $(notdir $(TARGET_CROSS)) and adding $(dir $(TARGET_CROSS)) to the path
(also without ccache). But the only thing that seems to work is to have the
original setup and that does not work with ccache.
