Description of the problem / feature request:

When I use bazel run --run_under //sometarget and then bazel build //sometarget after:

INFO: Build option --run_under has changed, discarding analysis cache.

Which completely discards all repository rules as well.

Feature requests: what underlying problem are you trying to solve with this feature?

Just trying to run stuff to test artifacts.

--run_under is not even an option to build, so why does it invalidate the analysis cache. It’s also only relevant to the execution of a generated artifact, so I don’t see why it should influence the build at all.

Bugs: what's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.
