Hi Jonas,

I've had a quick look at emcc now. I don't feel comfortable adding a ccache
symlink for it without some kind of evaluation of how emcc's options interact
when using the "-c" mode -- a symlink in /usr/lib/ccache would signal that
ccache officially supports emcc, which it doesn't (yet).

From "emcc --help" I see that the following options take an argument, which is
something that ccache would need to be taught about to work properly:
