--coverage implies -ftest-coverage, which generates a .gcno file while
compiling. ccache would need to save and restore that file as well,
something that would be possible but isn't implemented.

The problem is that ccache needs to run the preprocessor explicitly, and
that fails when there are multiple -arch options. See also
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7401, especially comment #2.
