Yes, it is normal. 
cachecc1 use (danglink) symbolic links to store short data, for two 
reasons :
1) if it is short enough, it will be stored in the inode (it may depend
   on the filesystem) and save space, and time...
2) to read it, one syscall (readlink) is enough. It is faster
   than 3 (open+read+close).
