I saw a repetiton of error messages in ccache log while checking everything is OK in the dev repository after -gsplit-dwarf support was put in official ccache repository and I have configured the local build to use -gsplit-dwarf (for some time actually before the official ccache dev repository had -gsplilt-dwarf support). As it turned out, it has nothing to do with -gsplit-dwarf support. But I think it was worth reporting and here it is. In the log of ccache, attached at the end, please note the strange repetition of --- Failed to stat lex.Pk11Install_yy.cpp: No such file or directory Disabling direct mode --- It was repeated 16 times. I wondered if there is something wrong and checked the file "lex.Pk11Install_yy.c", which was compiled when the strange messages appeared. (This is part of mozilla thunderbird and I think the file is shared by mozilla firefox, too.) As it turned out, this file contained #line directives with non-existing "lex.Pk11Install_yy.cpp" inside. Total of four times. grep "#[\ \t]*line" lex.Pk11Install_yy.c #line 20 "lex.Pk11Install_yy.c" #line 1 "installparse.l" #line 5 "installparse.l" #line 437 "lex.Pk11Install_yy.cpp" #line 60 "installparse.l" #line 591 "lex.Pk11Install_yy.cpp" #line 62 "installparse.l" #line 63 "installparse.l" #line 64 "installparse.l" #line 67 "installparse.l" #line 71 "installparse.l" #line 73 "installparse.l" #line 75 "installparse.l" #line 81 "installparse.l" #line 722 "lex.Pk11Install_yy.cpp" #line 81 "installparse.l" This means for each appearance of #line ddd "lex.Pk11Install_yy.cpp", ccache printed out four warnings and each time it said disable direct mode. ---- Failed to stat lex.Pk11Install_yy.cpp: No such file or directory Disabling direct mode --- Is this to be expected? Of course, the source file probably needs fixing, too, but four (4) pairs of error/warning messages per bogus #line directive with non-existing file are a little too many on the side of ccache, too. TIA CI The log.

I just realized this file is not compiled with -gsplit-dwarf. Many directories of mozilla thunderbird/firefx have specified special compiler flags and I suspect this is the case here, too. TIA
Logging "Disabling direct mode" each time seems unnecessary, I agree. Fixed in 0184e4cce018c823d9afde72ad2c6282263e0b20 on 3.2-main. Thanks! Regarding logging failing stats, I would like to keep them since they are a good debug tool.
(In reply to Joel Rosdahl from comment #2) Thank you for your quick fix. Happy Hacking (in the good sense of the word)
Included in 3.2.3.
