I don't think we should do this though.
When doing local container builds "make ci-build@BLAH" the container content is throwaway, so using ccache is adding extra I/O to store the cache arifacts but will not speed up compile as the cache will always be initially empty.
I think we only want to set $PATH in the .gitlab-ci.yml file where we have explicitly provided a persistent cache to use.
Sounds reasonable. We could still expose the path as something like ENV CCACHE_WRAPPERSDIR "/usr/local/share/ccache-wrappers" so that the CI rules would be able to do - export PATH="$CCACHE_WRAPPERSDIR:$PATH" instead of hardcoding the exact path.
