The gcc plugin builds often fail if there's been a gcc version update,
and you need to blow the old plugins away.

We do not have the full dependencies for system tools, and that might
happen with other incompatible system updates too.

But practically speaking, the gcc plugins are the only thing in the
kernel build that regularly cause problems.
