I'm just curious what would you call optimal. You don't want to
run fc-cache, you don't want to have writable shares, and you
don't think per-user caches are optimal. Having no chaches at
all is definitely not optimal either.

You can actually override this on your make commandline, like:
make pkgcachedir=/my/cache/dir all install
