Thanks for the explanation.  I can see that the code for this
is fairly new (early June) and I must have not seen many of these
so it grabbed my attention.  The build tree in question was last
touched in March, so there obviously were many cases of this
situation.

Related query: I tend to build & rebuild in the same tree (typically
only one platform per build tree) over long periods of time (like my
RaspberryPi2 tree which I've had around for many months).  Over time,
there may be a lot of updated builds and I end up with many "duplicated"
trees in my tmp/work (I don't use rm_work), e.g.
   tmp/work/x86_64-linux/libfontenc-native/1_1.1.3-r0
   tmp/work/x86_64-linux/libfontenc-native/1_1.1.2-r0
   tmp/work/x86_64-linux/glib-2.0-native/1_2.44.1-r0
   tmp/work/x86_64-linux/glib-2.0-native/1_2.44.0-r0

Is there a [simple] way to remove just the old/redundant trees?
