Description

When you try to enable ccache globally by setting the CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_LAUNCHER environment variable to ccache, compiling Arrow can fail with the following errors:

ccache: error: Recursive invocation (the name of the ccache binary must be "ccache")

I'm not sure what triggers this exactly because I get the issue with a certain build configuration and not another.
