I should have been more clear; I mean a solution for many devs to pull precompiled caches, and share those for the same version of libraries... this would also benefit CI, as all CI runs to be based off this.

A bit influenced by the fact that rustc has to compile itself three times. :P

Sure, but as with all end-user stuff, I don't care what it has to do, just that it has to do it.
This is already true today; that is, this cost is only paid the first time you compile. It's still not fast enough for people.
On my machine, a fresh build of rustc takes an hour, and small changes take 20 minutes, and even that makes it a giant pain. It's an ergonomic thing, IMO.
