Hm.  I can't find where the regression tests are being called --
there's a target in devel/bmake/Makefile.in, but what actually invokes
that target, I'm not sure...!

I'll look into this if it's still broken.  I made quite a few
modifications to make it possible to build pax entirely without tape

This won't work for everything, because the gcc signal trampolines
will still bomb.  You need Hotfix 899522 or a successor (the most
