Maybe host tool versions differ which trigger recompilation of things
like gcc and thus everything gets recompiled. You can use bitbake-diffsigs
to figure out why rebuild was triggered.

I work around this by using a build container based on LXC and Debian stable
everywhere, in CI and on developer machines with various Linux distros.

Hope this helps,
