ports-mgmt/sccache-overlay's functionality that allows it to work in a 
poudriere/port build environment relies on code that was never submitted 
upstream to sccache.

My last reading of sccache, they have a client-server architecture which 
is very unlike ccache. Their client-server implementation only supports 
TCP/IP network sockets despite their default operation mode being 
entirely "local", and assumes that a loopback IP always exists in the 
environment (it doesn't!).

In poudriere, apart from the fetch phase, network access is not allowed 
by default so spawning a server that listens on an IP that does not 
necessarily exist that clients, individual compiler invocations, talk to 
isn't tenable. At the very least, one would need to architect and 
implement Unix domain socket support there, which they are happy to 
consider.
