Right, but then you get different store paths.

Also, while working on the ‘stdenv-updates’ branch, I relied entirely on
feedback from the build farm: I could not afford to build all this every
few days on my 1.2 GHz box with a 40 GiB hard disk.  That PPL’s test
suite and others were run wasn’t an impediment to me.
