<p>Comment (by Roland Haas):</p>
<p>It turns out that <em>starting</em> a clean compile from ET_2019_10 does not show the problem, however if a compile on master shows the loop then <em>reverting</em> everything to ET_2019_10 does not fix the issue unless one also removes configs/sim/scratch/Formaline which triggers a rebuild of the tarballls. The Formaline changes changed for how long tarballs are kept (they are intermediate files only).</p>
<p>I will try and see if merging the two make rules in question would help, since they were only ever executed serially one after the other anyway, and if that does not help revert the Formaline changes. Reverting them will make a compiled tree a couple hundred MB larger which is normally not an issue (except on mike, shelob, qb where $HOME is small).</p>
