I hope fixing this is enough to fix all the cryptic issues.
The build is now fixed, but I still need to give the testbeds the
ability to automatically remove objdirs containing non-writable
directories, because otherwise they will get stuck whenever they
decide to build a historic version from the affected time range.
This is also going to be an ongoing pitfall for anyone building
historic versions, for example when bisecting.
I wonder if "rm -rf" should actually succeed with these modes, by doing
a chmod when necessary. It has always seem to me that -f is supposed to
really mean -f. But maybe POSIX says otherwise.
It actually does try a chmod in the build, but that also fails
with EPERM!
(Sorry if someone has already pointed this out; I'm a bit behind
in my reading.)
