It's a bit annoying to see things like "force-cargo-...-build" when nothing has 
changed, accompanied by lots of "waiting for file lock on package cache".
It's adding tens of seconds to every build. sccache doesn't help.
I opened https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1568168 for that a while 
ago.

On the sccache topic, if it supports distributed builds, great! I'll have to 
give it a try...
