But besides that, I'm still confused as to why the problem happened
only once in the autobuilders. It does happen with the powerpc/internal
toolchain/static configuration that failed in the autobuilders, but
doesn't fail with the pre-built br-arm-full-static toolchain, which
also uses a statically-linked uClibc...
