Describe the bug

if a test is added/changed by changing code guarded by #ifndef __CUDA_ARCH__, sccache will conclude that the file has not changed and will serve up a cached object file instead of compiling from source.

sccache uses a hash of the preprocessed source to determine whether or not to rebuild. the preprocessor is run with __CUDA_ARCH__ defined. All code guarded by #ifndef __CUDA_ARCH__ gets thrown away.

How to Reproduce

within a properly set up devcontainer (which uses sccache) add a TEST_CASE to an existing test, and guard it with #ifndef __CUDA_ARCH__. build and run the test. then change the test so that it will fail. build and run the test again. the test still passes.

Expected behavior

any changes to the source should cause recompilation, regardless of where the change is made.
