Yes sorry. I didn't explain myself well. I meant what if one uses both at the 
same time, how can you make it to work with the "export PATH" way?

I didn't think PATH=/usr/lib/ccache:/usr/lib/distcc:$PATH would have worked, 
but then I read the distcc man page masquerade section and now I understand.

It can work because distcc intercepts the calls to the compiler and then 
removes itself from the PATH to find the real compiler. I think ccache behaves 
the same.



Thanks for the pointer.

Best regards.
