What did you expect to see?

The output of the step 3 is similar to the step 2 and the step 5.

What did you see instead?

GOCACHE=off doesn't force rebuilding.

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release (go1.10.3)?

I think so.

Maybe, this is an intended behavior. Even so, -x message can be improved.
For example, I'd rather see

# compiled binary 'x' founded. build steps were skipped.

This is completely working as intended. GOCACHE=off disables the use of the "build cache" but not the preinstalled artifacts in GOPATH/pkg nor the possibly-already-built target binary. GOCACHE=off does not mean "rebuild everything".

If you really want to just rebuild everything, use -a, which means "rebuild everything".
