I'm sorry. A few years back we had a long discussion with the
consensus that we should have used
if [ $? != 0 ]; then
instead. I have no idea why this wasn't the case at the end. Maybe I
just wasn't reading careful enough?

We kept building the armel binaries on some super strange hardware
configuration which Boris provided to us. At some point he was no
longer able to provide the hardware, we no longer built the binaries &
provided them, and I don't think that anybody complained since.
The armhf binaries are built on RPi in Hans' cellar running Raspbian.
There's a high probability that some similar code is used in TeX Live
as well, but I would need to check. (But maybe Karl fixed it
correctly, only I screwed up :)
