This is what scons is doing when it's recompiling unnecessarily:
makeDefinesPyFile(["build/X86_SE/python/m5/defines.py"],
[{'ALPHA_TLASER': False, 'FAST_ALLOC_STATS': False, 'FAST_ALLOC_DEBUG':
False, 'USE_CHECKER': False, 'SS_COMPATIBLE_FP': False, 'NO_FAST_ALLOC':
False, 'USE_FENV': True, 'TARGET_ISA': 'x86', 'FULL_SYSTEM': False,
'USE_MYSQL': False}, '652016638b82+ 5907+ default qtip tip
nofetchonmicrostats.patch'])
