I can't really do a clean build without the sstate cache, sorry. Or at
least not just by myself. Cleaning the cache on the autobuilder, will
fix the build on the autobuilder, but not for any other user that will
have the previous objects in the cache. So it means we could be breaking
the build for some users.

What I could do is, as for last week, forcefully increase PR on a bunch
of recipes, to force a rebuild. This can be used to tests that
everything works fine on the autobuilder when everything is rebuilt from
scratch, but probably could bot be merged as-is.

Weekly maintenance will happen soon, so I can't do that right now, but I
will try to launch such a build tomorrow.
