Sure.  But the ccache thing is fairly common, AFAIK, and IMO notmuch's
configure should either handle spaces in a non-absolute-path $CC or exit
with an error in that case.

And, oddly enough, the $CC does succeed in compiling, modulo this build
error -- so it seems that the $IFS isn't actually providing any benefit
in this case.  (If the IFS did its job, I would expect to see an error
like "ccache gcc: command not found" or something.)
