   This is a serious issue.  I think we need some feedback from bug-hurd
   folks as to whether this is a desirable choice for some reason.  Is this
   a bug in their implementation of sh or bash?  Or is it imbedded in glibc
   somewhere?

I'm not entirely sure I understand.  I know for certain that autoconf
tests work just fine, and they rely on exit statuses.

I wasn't privy to the previous discussion before Brent's mail; can
someone mail to bug-hurd a simple test case?
