Hmmm. My animals compile out of the source tree, not sure how this could 
happen.

Indeed, no ccache. The compilers change often (well, once a week), I do 
not want anything kept across compiler versions. The animals are really 
testing the compilers as much as they are testing postgres.

However, there is an autoconf cache, but I do not see why it would have 
such an effect.

So no clue.
