Are we sure it changed again? Isn't the build error above caused by the
fact that the tarball in the cache was wrong, and now that we've added
the hash, the individual autobuilder instances are progressively
realizing that the tarball they have in their cache is wrong.

I personally don't care about schifra. It was added back in August 2012
by Simon Dawson, but unfortunately Simon is no longer contributing to
Buildroot.

Maybe we should first report the issue upstream?
