Yeah, I think that's it.  I'm building on one system, then tar/untar
to the test system to do the final "make install-tools"

Maybe it's rebuilding something it doesn't need to?  I'd probably
rather fix that than worry about keeping the userlands in perfect
sync, unless this is going to crop up at runtime regardless.

Thanks,
