Hi folks,

It seems that since last time I updated the build, caching is broken: if
you run the same build twice, it's not fetching compileGroovy from cache,
which it should. If you update the build, please make sure that you don't
break caching by:

- running the same command twice in a row and making sure everything is
up-to-date
- running "clean whatever" and make sure it fetches everything from the
local cache

if it doesn't work, you broke something. As an example, I checked out the
GROOVY_4_0_0 tag and ran `./gradlew compileGroovy`.

Here's the first scan: https://scans.gradle.com/s/bo5tzjdgrvhrm

Then I'm doing the same again:

You can see that everything gets recompiled because the bootstrap compiler
jar changed. This should never happen. I don't know how this got unnoticed,
since it's obviously dramatically increasing feedback time.

This is also particularly painful because the build OOMs when trying to
publish to a local repository. Because it has to restart from scratch, it's
a huge waste of time.

I'll try to find time to identify the problem. FWIW, this is why a Gradle
Enterprise partnership would be useful, since we'd get build data and the
problem would have been immediately identified.
