Comment:

 I'm curious what's going wrong in setupBuild, and in particular what
 problems do you see that might be remedied by a retry?  If there's a
 transient error in setupBuild the buildbot source, we (Buildbotters)
 should fix that.  If the error is in Mozilla code, the other we (with my
 Mozilla hat on) should fix that by retrying whatever action is producing
 the error.

 Otherwise, if something goes wrong enough to trigger a failure in
 setupBuild, I can't see it being anything but purple - which it's not
 right now, so I'll leave this bug open to fix that problem.
