And the tests still pass ;)

Could you move this to a separate patch, please?

Check the manual and other commit messages for formatting.  In 
particular, the file name only needs to be mentioned once, and the 
affected sections are mentioned in square brackets before the comment.

I think we can actually stick with the tarball available on the github 
release page: 
https://github.com/ccache/ccache/releases/download/v3.7.7/ccache-3.7.7.tar.xz 
which is already bootstrapped.

Using the distribution tarball should prevent needing to add these 
inputs.

It seems based on the release notes that we also need to remove the 
mention of Fortran 77 support in the description.

Could you send updated patches?
