It also wrecks the online/offline workflow I have.

When connected with 10gbe I use the build cluster from my laptop, when
wireless or offline I clearly cannot use distcc.

My scripts automagically do this right, except now they barf.

It basically means I have to now script around this crap by trap'ing the
build script and always deleting the $BUILD_DIR/include/generated crap.

Is there really anybody out there who hasn't scripted their distcc/cross
build stuff and types that incredibly long make line every time?
