No, I'm not able to reproduce the problem. Maybe I'd need to share the sstate
to another machine or user to trigger this. Just changing build paths
doesn't trigger the problem on my build machine.

Alternatively I can remove all x86/ovmf using tests and make things
work with u-boot firmware and aarch64, but then I need to test both
qemuarm64 and genericarm64 since details differ between them.
