I had this setup working a year or so ago. I was using the regular Mac
"make" build.

Did the same. I had to ensure clang used by Xcode was the ccache proxy.
Don't remember whether just setting CC/CXX in the command line works.
When running make, you can see which clang is used.
Maybe setting CC/CXX in Source/WebCore/Configurations/Base.xcconfig would
do the trick (for WebCore).

I think the CMake build is not complete in terms of executable. It would be
great if we could finalize it.
Alex knows a lot about this.

Right, this is a known limitation of the current build system and something
that would be good to improve on.
