Please don't do that on your buildfarm repo copy (if that's what you
did). You should not touch *anything* inside it. If need to you do this,
make a copy (see later) and alter that.

If you did do this to the buildfarm repo copy, please blow it away so
that buildfarm will get a fresh clean copy next time it runs.

To recreate the failing buildfarm environment (including making an
alterable repo copy), run the following (with suitable local mods):

run_build.pl --test --keepall

At the end of that you should have the build tree that was actually
used, and the install tree too if it got that far. Then you can start
playing manually.

Remember to move or remove the kept trees before your next buildfarm run.
