I'm not using ccache at the moment and I dont get a sensible error 
message. But seeing your error message I recognize it because probably I 
used ccache back when I made the patch.

Now after testing again with master (0f0868a) I can state the following:

Build breaks during configure (bootstrap) phase when running
*  make -j2 -Oline host-cmake
*  make -j2 -Otarget host-cmake
with
   Error when bootstrapping CMake:
   Problem while running make
   ---------------------------------------------
   Log of errors: 
/home/yocto/anaumann/buildroot-qmake-v6/output/build/host-cmake-3.15.5/Bootstrap.cmk/cmake_bootstrap.log

Looking at the logfile I cant figure out what the problem is.

The build succeeds with
*  make -j2 host-cmake
*  make -j2 -Onone host-cmake
*  make -j2 -Orecurse host-cmake

My assumption is that the problem lies in passing certain MAKEFLAGS for 
a parallel build while not passing -jxxx itself but using the 
--parallel=$(PARALLEL_JOBS) option. The bootstrap script then somehow 
reassembles the -jxxx option and certain ${cmake_make_flags} in an 
incompatible way (at least for -Oline and -Otarget).

I use GNU Make 4.1.

best regards,
Andreas
