That sounds quite strange. Rebuilding it 2 times (or so) may be possible
(due to multiple dependency resolutions) but I doubt that it will last
infinitely?
Any log file?

Actually this file purposely always generated to reflect the build time
of the daemon (and compiling the beast from CVS-HEAD several times a day
requires to put the time and build host in).

That defeats the purpose of that file as such and consequently we can
kill that file completely and remove the variables there or think of
another way to get that info in.
I'm open to alternative solutions of the "problem".
