When using compiler caching program like ccache, there is no point to use them on external projects or multi-stage clang builds. As these builds uses fresh from source code toolchain and will pollute the build cache. If a compiler launcher is still required, a user can explicity define `CMAKE_C_COMPILER_LAUNCHER` and `CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_LAUNCHER` in `CLANG_BOOTSTRAP_PASSTHROUGH` and `LLVM_EXTERNAL_PROJECT_PASSTHROUGH` flags to enable compiler launcher in these builds.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
