The libraries might be different if the compiler has changed.  The
compiler might change because it's not in lib-tools.

However, since libraries are built before the compiler in the main pass,
they probably won't change in the main pass.  They may change when
everything is built again.

The compiler should probably be in lib-tools.  Then to ensure that a
stable version of it gets built, you could blow it away instead of the
libraries.  It may take longer to rebuild than the libraries :-].
