It was using CC="ccache cc" for C, but no explicit CXX. Somehow our
configure script flipped from finding c++ (the system C++ compiler,
which is Clang) to finding g++ (an old GCC port I had installed) after
that commit, and the resulting .so didn't work too well. I did not
upgrade or change anything at that time. I must admit that commit of
Peter's looks fairly innocent though. Is it possible that an earlier
change caused it, but this change caused the "accache" to be cleared?
That accache seems a bit flimsy, I've had to rm it before. Anyway,
now that I've explicitly set CXX="ccache c++" and nuked the accache,
elver is green again.
