Can you please omit the 'for host "nfs.trh.sim.no"' part of that
output line, or at least provide a way to do so?  It makes regression
testing difficult.

For regression testing purposes, if I build on two different hosts that
have the same build environment, I should get the same results.
Putting host names into the built program makes it harder to do proper
regression testing.
