Major - P3 It is handy sometimes to be able to run patch builds that don't use the shared SCons cache, for instance to A/B test the performance impact of a compiler option or a toolchain change.
The easiest way to do this is to build with evergreen patch -param patch_compile_flags=-cache-disable .... Unfortunately, this appears to be broken right now, probably due to our cachedir customizations.
The stack trace looks like:
