Because these are compilers, not compiler caches. I suppose it's not the 
task of a compiler to speed up the build process, but rather producing 
good binaries from source code. I think of the Unix dogma "one task, one 
tool".

It doesn't work always, e.g. the FreeBSD 6.0 userland on amd64 won't 
build properly using ccache.
