If you set the environment variable *CCACHE_HARDLINK* then ccache will
attempt to use hard links from the cache directory when creating the
- compiler output rather than using a file copy. Using hard links is faster,
- but can confuse programs like ``make'' that rely on modification times.
- Hard links are never made for compressed cache files. This means that you
- typically should not set the *CCACHE_COMPRESS* variable if you want to use
- hard links.
