TBH, I don't find that particularly important ... especially not for HEAD
builds, where building a many-hours-old snapshot is pretty much in the
category of "why bother?". On the whole, I think building from the latest
available source is the most useful policy. If there's some platform-
or configuration-specific issue, it usually takes more than one build
cycle for us to notice it anyway, so that ensuring two animals have exactly
comparable builds at any given instant isn't very helpful.
