Hello, with FEATURES="ccache distcc" firefox build ignores ccache, but uses distcc. With FEATURES="ccache" only ccache is used. Other packages use both ccache and distcc without problems. Mine ccache is 3.1.7 and distcc is 3.2_rc1.

Created attachment 313509 [details] environment PATH looks OK, maybe firefox build tools strip it somehow.
Please attach the entire build log to this bug report. Judging from my build logs, it appears to figure a couple of things out wrongly in src_configure() (it appears to ignore CHOST), and your ps output doesn't suggest that it isn't using ccache or distcc, just that there is a subprocess that does not include that path. So you may have found a genuine bug but without a build log, we cannot be certain.
I noticed that ccache is not used when rebuild of the same version of firefox took too long time and ccache -s showed no changes in counters. I'm uploading full build log (compressed, too large otherwise) and environment of the new build.

Nothing for toolchain to do here.
The problem is still here with firefox-20.0.1.
I undestand what is happening: ccache doesn't support profile-related options, -fprofile-generate in particular and ccache's counter of "unsupported compiler option" is growing during firefox build.
