Thanks.  It didn't apply to 1.17.3 so making my script work with it is on my 
todo list.  (I've got somebody interested in poking at aboriginal on real 
sparc hardware so I need to buckle down and fix the dynamic linker, and I'm in 
the middle of figuring out why the uClibc prebuilt-locale stuff still wants to 
call the "locale -a" command on the host, which isn't _there_ on the gentoo 
box running my cron jobs, and if throwing one in the path that just echoes "C" 
and "POSIX" will satisfy it.)

Oh, by the way, if you point #!/bin/sh to hush and then run the zlib 
./configure stage it dies kind of impressively.  (The others probably do too, 
zlib is just the first package my LFS bootstrap tries to build.  Then again the 
perl ./configure stage segfaulted repeatedly with #!/bin/sh=ash, so what I 
really need to do is finish the lfs-bootstrap script with sh=bash and _then_ 
see what hush breaks.  Right now I'm just trying to get the lfs-bootstrap 
scripts _themselves_ to work with hush...)
