Comment:

 Using the attached patch, I see a 95% cache hit rate while compiling some
 checkout of Maxima. However, I see no speed-ups in build times for ABCL or
 Maxima nor do I see significant improvement of the execution of the
 (compiled) ANSI test suite.

 Makes me wonder why Peter thinks he saw large performance improvements
 with XCL.

 Recording the patch here so it gets recorded. However, closing this issue
 for lack of evidence of improvement; no additional complexity seems to be
 warranted based on these findings.
