We are still encountering this issue.  Do anyone know if there is a way to
workaround it? Is there some way I can skip downloading the tools and just
use the last good set that was built?

Since no one else seems to be having this issue, it would lead me to
believe that we are alone in using the get the source from tarballs for
nightly testing.
