Details

In bug 1306193, the error message mozbuild.configure.options.InvalidOptionError: Unknown option: --with-ccache turned out to be due to --disable-compile-environment being set. It would be good to make the error message more clear, to indicate that the two options are in conflict.
Similarly --enable-jemalloc (in bug 1306194).
The message will change to "--option is not available in this configuration" in bug 1296530.
