I use `sccache` locally, and currently, I will need to set `DISABLE_PRECOMPILE_HEADERS` manually, right? I think we should give a warning message if `sccache` + `pch` is activated.

A warning is fine.

I'm unsure on this point. sccache is a common CI configuration, and nobody is going to notice those warnings. I guess this depends somewhat on what the failure mode for sccache + pch is. Build failures? Silent miscompiles? Silent failures to use the cache?
