I note that that wouldn't cover the case where library A's soname
changes, library B depends on A, and program C depends on both A and B.
Rebuilding C would fail unless a rebuilt B has had time to get into the
buildroot, and the next day it wouldn't be retried.

If it would do that, and retry the scratch build once a day, then it
would eventually work its way through dependency chains.
