It might be a transient error, and a complete cleanup of the tree
might fix it. To do so, build a non-existent branch through the web ui,
then build the original branch again; this will cause a fresh checkout.

If the error then persists, my guess it's some kind of compiler issue,
which can be investigated only with access to the machine.
