Hello,

While cross-building hurd-amd64 from linux, I got a subtle issue with
bash, that was leading to perl FTBFS very oddly.

The issue essentially was in bash/builtins/Makefile.in:

pipesize.h:     psize.aux
        $(SHELL) $(srcdir)/psize.sh > $@

Yes, the Makefile acknowledges this:

# Technically this is wrong; the pipe size should be for the target system,
# not the build host.
psize.aux:      psize.c
$(CC_FOR_BUILD) $(CCFLAGS_FOR_BUILD) ${LDFLAGS_FOR_BUILD} -o $@ $(srcdir)/psize.c

since it's very difficult to run things built for the target system and
there isn't a portable way to query the actual pipe size at runtime
(getconf may just give you the posix maximum).
