This is a simple change in link content in the tree. When that happens
we have to rebuild the reconstruct file. That is normally done as part
of "fdr insertchanges", but testing before then can trip these. I
suspect it makes sense to include an "fdr autoreconstruct" in the update
proceedure, which I will do next time.
Separatly I have rebuilt the reconstruct and pushed it to the tip of
master-next. It test built for me. I would recommend we fold it into
the update commit and push it.
