Well, that is weird.  I can't find any reason for that to happen :-(

I'll have a chat with the kisskb guy when I next see him.  Thanks for the
heads up.

As code is migrating to Linus' tree, it's spreading from the linux-next to the
linus branch, e.g.:

Hi Geert,

This has started happening because of a change in ccache (v3.1.7). It
has always checked that the stdout file exists (via stat), but
previously if it was missing it would fall back to a full compile,
whereas now it is a fatal error.

However looking at the ccache code it makes no sense for the file not to
exist, because we just created it. So it's a bit of a mystery.

At the moment I'm running with a slightly hacked ccache (too much and
the bug vanishes), and auditing enabled, to try and work out if someone
is actually unlinking the file or what.

Hopefully we can sort it out in the next few days.

cheers
