Well, there's some logic to avoid rebuilds if the distro features
change in a way that the recipe *can't* change, but changing the
distro name impacts *everything*.

Oh, WebKit, fair enough.  :)  Doing it outside of the VM is advisable,
but try giving the VM more memory: pretty sure my average i7 can build
webkit quicker than that.
