It sometimes happens when the date/time are not being set
properly, so that the tools are mistakenly rebuilt again
at an inappropriate time when in the foreign environment
of the target -- the problem is usually understood better
when building for another CPU architecture and hitting it.
I think this was an inappropriate commit to make, unless
the problem can be reproduced.  I have upgraded several
i386's and amd64's without a problem.
