Did you report the issue? Should be simple enough to fix.
I seriously doubt it's a good idea to use CCACHE_COMPILER - there's no way
meson (or autoconf or ..) can rely on the results of compiler tests that way,
since CCACHE_COMPILER can change at any time.

I tried it, and it works for me when building with ninja (compiling with
cl.exe). I assume you are using msbuild?
A cached build takes 21s on my VM, fwiw, vs 199s uncached.
