In that case Naoto did a local fix to that for those that are trying out the new build could continue. I think we're at the point where build changes are going to have to be done to both build systems as otherwise it will break somebody. Hopefully it won't be too long before we actually transition to the new build.

What's odd is that we only removed and added a couple of classes which doesn't require a build system change.  But I don't know how build-infra works so maybe it needs some love?
