I'm just curious to know if it's really a binary or not. The error message
appears as though it's some sort of script, but that's not necessarily the
case. If it's a script I'd like to see it. If it's binary, no need.

The build messages simply go to the screen (and are lost) unless you
redirect them somewhere. If you were to use qtp-newmodel, the messages are
logged in the /usr/src/qtp-upgrade/log/ directory.
