By tuning the stap script to SIGSTOP the offending process, we can get a much better view of the situation - here using pstree:

Another try: if ccache ignores the disable request, maybe we can ask it not to touch the cache ? --- /usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends.orig 2013-08-29 23:34:32.000000000 +0200 +++ /usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends 2013-08-29 23:56:48.000000000 +0200 @@ -59,7 +59,7 @@ function checkbuilddep_internal () { # Use this function to fulfill the dependency (almost) - local ARCH=$($CHROOTEXEC dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH) + local ARCH=$($CHROOTEXEC env CCACHE_READONLY=1 CCACHE_TEMPDIR=${TMPDIR:-/tmp} dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH) local BUILD_DEP_DEB_DIR local BUILD_DEP_DEB_CONTROL local DEPENDS ... but similarly, ccache seems to ignore the request, which can be seen in the processes' env. Is there some ccache subtlety I'm missing ? Could ccache maints lend a hand here ?
