Is there any way to know when the last successful build was? The first
one that failed was on 07-Nov-2015. I would like to cross check the
changes in CURRENT to see if there were any clang/libc++ changes. I
face the same problems trying to update cad/openvsp to 3.x. I get
funny compilation error from clang that I don't fully understand.

Thanks
