Wearing my m68k porter's hat...
Seriously, if the choice is between 'fast builds' or 'reliable builds
that will not fuck themselves up', then my choice is clearly for the
latter.
If there are ways to avoid stuff being rebuilt over and over again, then
that's nice. But it's not so much of an issue if you can't do that. It's
easier for us to add another machine to the buildd pool if we can't keep
up anymore than it is to start debugging weird and unusual runtime
errors.
