+\r
+Sure.  But the ccache thing is fairly common, AFAIK, and IMO notmuch's\r
+configure should either handle spaces in a non-absolute-path $CC or exit\r
+with an error in that case.\r
+\r
+And, oddly enough, the $CC does succeed in compiling, modulo this build\r
+error -- so it seems that the $IFS isn't actually providing any benefit\r
+in this case.  (If the IFS did its job, I would expect to see an error\r
+like "ccache gcc: command not found" or something.)\r
