    build: CC="cache gcc" breaks gobject-introspection for native win build.
    
    After some recent patch added to Python on MSYS2, in the same time as
    they bumped from Python 3.9.6 to 3.9.7, our native Windows build started
    breaking.
    
    This patch modified `cygwinccompiler.py` to use CC environment variable
    as being necessarily a single executable whereas if it were made of 2
    commands (such as "ccache gcc"), the call was failing because the code
    now tries to find a single command with this name (as though the space
    belongs to the file name).
    
    Therefore the line:
    >   File "C:/msys64/mingw64/lib/python3.9/distutils/cygwinccompiler.py", line 451, in is_cygwincc
    >     out_string = check_output([cc, '-dumpmachine'])
    
    Resulted in the error:
    > FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified
    
    For now, let's just not set ccache this way, even though this method is
    normally meant to work and is one of the 2 officially proposed methods
    (the other being to use symlinks named as compilers in priority in
    PATH).
    Also I'm not even sure ccache is useful at all right now (is cache
    finally stored/reused between CI runs? I remember we tried to make it
    happen, but I can't remember if we really had this properly in the end).
