[swift-dev] Differences between Xcode official toolchains and tagged releases from repository

Yes, there are sometimes internal-only changes in the Xcode toolchains, but I wouldn't expect those to have different behavior around succeeding or failing a simple compile. Can you provide any more information? Any custom build process you've set up?

Maybe the Xcode team is using some special flags for compilation or applying internal fixes? I ask this question because we're seeing some projects that compile fine with the official toolchain, but fail to do so with one downloaded from the repository, from the exact tagged version.
