[racket-dev] Compile cache being incorrect

If I understand the question:

 * With 34c3eed615, "pr12644.rkt" can compile and run.

 * With d29df205f7, "pr12644.rkt" fails to compile.

 * A bytecode form of "pr12644.rkt" compiled with 34c3eed615 can still
   run in d29df205f7, because run-time support for "pr12644.rkt" didn't
   change.

 * When you tell `racket` to run "pr12644.rkt", it will use a ".zo" for
   each of "pr12644.rkt" and its dependencies as long each individual
   ".zo" file has a newer timestamp than its ".rkt" file. That is, the
   only timestamp comparisons are on individual ".rkt" and ".zo" pairs.

 * When you tell `raco make` to build "pr12644.rkt", it checks
   dependencies (via ".dep" file) and compares a ".rkt" file's
   timestamp against the times of all of its dependencies, instead of
   just checking individual ".rkt" and ".zo" pairs. That's why a `raco
   make` in d29df205f7 tries to recompile "pr12644.rkt".
