    As discussed in the QAT emails, it might be related to ccache use
on the build cluster graciously donated by ixSystems, and the fact
that the cached data is inconsistently distributed across the cluster.
I've provided some tips for itetcu to work around this on IRC
(basically disable ccache), but it kind of sucks when you run into
periodic issues with toolchain variance like this, s.t. building with
NO_CACHE=yes is a necessary evil to work through end-to-end build
functional issues. Someone else who knows more about ccache could
provide a better explanation of what's going on because my ranting
about this would only be me talking out of my rear :).
    More info about ccache with FreeBSD can be found here:
