Research direction
Start by tracing Dune's cache handling for foreign_stubs and read the discussion linked from issue 4604. Determine where an option to skip caching these build artifacts belongs, then verify that foreign_stubs can bypass Dune's cache while tools such as ccache or sccache handle them.
