This adds a flag to enable sccache in order to simplify the build-script
invocation, particularly for new contributors.

 - ``--test``: Test the toolchain after it has been compiled. This is off by default.
 - ``--distcc``: Use distcc to speed up the build by distributing the c++ part of
   the swift build. This is off by default.
+- ``--sccache``: Use sccache to speed up subsequent builds of the compiler by
+  caching more c++ build artifacts. This is off by default.
 
 More options may be added over time. Please pass ``--help`` to

 $ sccache --start-server

 ```
 
+If you want to always use sccache, you can `export USE_SCCACHE=1` and the build script will pick it up.
+
 Given the size of artifacts generated, you might also want to bump the cache size from the default 10GB to something larger, say by putting `export SCCACHE_CACHE_SIZE="50G"` in your dotfile(s).
 
 You can run some compiles to see if it is actually doing something by running `sccache --show-stats`. Depending on the exact compilation task you're running, you might see very different cache hit rates. For example, `sccache` is particularly effective if you're rebuilding LLVM, which doesn't change so frequently from the Swift compiler's perspective. On the other hand, if you're changing the compiler's AST, the cache hit rate is likely to be much lower.
