The jhbuild warnings have to do with jhbuild bootstrapping itself. They're
normal.
skip.remove("bash") isn't needed anymore, .jhbuildrc adds it only when the
MacOS version is < 10.11 (i.e. no SIP).
I merged a PR the other day that updates openssl to 1.1g and that seems to
build OK inline so it's no longer necessary to build it separately before
everything else.
All of that aside, something is whacked and I can reproduce the broken
moduleset path using an alternate user... but it works fine when I'm me and
everything else is the same.
