With or without sstate involvement?

This looks like some kind of sstate issue but without logs this is near
impossible to comment on. The logs you've pointed at don't show the
problem you're describing.

I don't think the problem is as simple as you're suggesting it is though
as the core dependency resolution appears to be working (and has not
changed in a long time). What perhaps isn't in something in the sstate
task acceleration.

It is enabled on the autobuilder and that gives a useful data point,
thanks.
