 Testing has been somewhat delayed by my adventures with e2fprogs,
but a build is running at the moment.  It's still building 64-bit
glibc, but the test results from 32-bit glibc are not encouraging:
an extra failure (one of the nptl tests, no big deal), and then
c++-types-check.out failed (on the previous build, that only failed
in 64-bit).  So, applying the patch to bash in the temporary system
will NOT reliably fix this failure.

 I still think it's probably bash-related, but I have no way of
proving that, nor of fixing it.  Maybe we should add a comment that
c++-types-check often fails for unknown reasons ?  I don't know
which is worse - not mentioning a failure which people are fairly
likely to see, or saying we haven't a clue.
