THANK YOU!

I had cp-ed bash into the chroot, so... changed my toy mkdep to
bash and it worked fine.  Then a couple lines later make tried to
run sh again and sh drops the ball again.  OK, so I made /bin/sh
a symlink to /bin/bash and it is grinding away.  Over an hour now,
and the logfile is 3.6 MB and counting.  With sh it failed in about
10 seconds.

That code should print the name of the program complaining,
and yes, should print errno.  I suppose I ought to do that and find
out why fcntl is failing.
