I'm not trying to throw gas (or petrol) on the fire, but do want to 
explain how the recent unity FTBFS issue occurred.

The pre-compiled header MP was successfully built and tested by the 
autolanding job and therefore merged into trunk. Shortly after, we found 
that the latest trunk wasn't building in the staging ppa and notified 
the engineer to begin work on a fix. Thinking that the issue would have 
a quick fix, I hacked the unity source going into the ppa so that the 
ppa would continue to build. This turned out to be a poor decision as 
the fix took longer then expected. You know the rest.
