That log shows:

ccache icc -g -fpic -DPIC -I../../../src/interfaces/libpq -I../../../src/include -c -o regress.o regress.c
xild -x -shared -o regress.so regress.o

The status page also says this regarding the member:

FreeBSD 6-CURRENT Intel(tm) CC 7.1 Build 20040901Z ia32

I can highlight this and more info if required - just tell me what you want to know. I already have on my list your request for version numbers for changed files.

It's a bit of a balancing act between providing too much info and not enough.

To answer your question about how to choose it, you do it through the buildfarm member's config file - example (showing use of ccache) can be seen here:
