Ah, thanks. I made a wrong assumption about how it works. So I can get
it to fail faster by running "stuart_ci_build -c .pytool/CISettings.py
TOOL_CHAIN_TAG=GCC5 -t NO-TARGET" - i.e. running NO-TARGET without also
running DEBUG,RELEASE,NOOPT too.
It turns out that because of the repo I'm running it against, where I
haven't kept `master` up-to-date, it thinks almost all the files have
changed - and so it runs Ecc against code that hasn't really changed for
a long time.
"INFO - Cmd to run is: git diff --name-status HEAD origin/master"
So, now I've updated my repo's `master`, it both runs much faster, and
succeeds.
A weekly build which runs Ecc over all the code and compiles a report of
issues might be nice.
