I kind of wish people would dig into these things as its the only real
way we'll get them fixed. If it was this issue, removing the
prepare_recipe_sysroot stamp should have sorted the problem.

The issue is there in zeus so I guess we could need this fix there.
Question is whether its worth any other inadvertent breakage.
