 Christos suggested I test it on babylon5 by setting HOST_SH, so I did.
 I can confirm that a build with HOST_SH pointing at a freshly built shell
 containing the fix successfully proceeds past the point where it used
 to fail, whereas an otherwise identical build with HOST_SH pointing at
 a shell freshly built from slightly older sources (without the fix) still
 fails.
