I do like the idea of a test suite for sbase. It is too easy to
accidentally break something when fixing another bug.
Shell-based testing seems fine to me. However, I wonder if it might be
better to make this a separate repository (similar to musl and
libc-test). That way, you could test any implementation of the POSIX
utilities.

If this were to go into the sbase repository, the `testing` target
should depend on the utilities being tested.

I believe this will ignore any failures except in the last test.
Why not `for testfile in *.test`? Do you anticipate multiple
subdirectories of tests? If so, something like `find -name '*.test'
-type f -exec {} ';'` would be better.

I don't really like the mix of camel case, all lowercase, and underscore.

You should probably also consider > 1, in which case there was an
error with cmp.
