I guess it was my imagination then. Sorry.
Umm... no, not that was not his point at all. GCC does not provide any
build system to be used in your project; it's a compiler suite. You are
probably using a Makefile (input for GNU Make), which decides when and
how the compiler should be invoked to compile your source code. These
decisions are not based on caching, they are based on the timestamps of
input and output files.
If you are using a Makefile, then this is not the right place to ask
questions about why it doesn't behave the way you expect (or want it
to)... you need to find a list for questions about GNU Make.
