Thanks for the testing and report.

This one is because its shell fails when i=[:

    # Ensure that each program "works" (exits successfully) when doing
    # something more than --help or --version.
    for i in $built_programs; do
      ...
      if env $i $args < $tmp_in > $tmp_out; then       <<<==========
        : # ok
      else
        echo FAIL: $i
        fail=1
      fi
      rm -rf $tmp_in $tmp_in2 $tmp_out $tmp_dir
    done

I'll bet if you use a better shell that test will not fail.

I don't see how this can arise:

  pwd-long: /zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz: stat failed: 2

These other two will probably require debugging, so
I'll wait until I get access to a system like that.
Should be within a week or two.
