The change in commit v3.5.0-rc1~198^2 (Ninja: Always re-run custom commands that have symbolic dependencies, 2015-11-19) broke the byproducts feature added by commit v3.2.0-rc1~340^2~2 (Add an option for explicit BYPRODUCTS of custom commands, 2014-11-13) when SYMBOLIC outputs also appear. This case occurs with AUTORCC-generated custom targets because the output is SYMBOLIC (to always run) and the generated file is a byproduct (for restat so dependents do not run unnecessarily). The two use cases conflict because Ninja does not support per-output restat. Favor restat whenever byproducts are present because it is required for byproducts to work correctly. In use cases where we want an always-run chain we simply will not be able to also use byproducts.
