The compiler doesn't change every iteration for the most part. On my buildbots I try and update the compiler once a week or so.

Very good point. As I understand it, this should only matter when the compiler changes. I'll make sure to clear the cache entirely when updating the compilers.

As it currently stands that wouldn't work. cxx_under_test is expected to be a single token.
I understand concerns about this setup being fragile. However I would still like to try it out on my bots for the time being. There are a number of extra configurations I would like to run and currently I don't have the resources to do it. My OSX builder takes 30-45 minutes per run. It would be nice to get this down.
