I can't use "toyonly" in tests/test.test because it's a TOYFLAG_NOHELP command, so "test --version" produces no output, which is how scripts/runtest.sh is currently checking for toybox.

My next instinct was to $(basename $(readlink)) and check if that pointed to "toybox", but "make test_test" is doing scripts/single.sh test (which would be "make test" except that's intercepted to do something else, just like "make help" and "make install")... anyway, it's creating a standalone binary called "test" with no symlink for readlink to interrogate. So that check fails in the current test suite.

My THIRD idea was to run "strings" against the binary and see if anything unique was in there, but having been intentionally parsimonious in that regard my options for the standalone "test" binary seem to be:

  need arg @%d
  bad (
  need )
  too many arguments

I think. There's a bunch of dynamic glibc nonsense, so I thought "I'll do a static NDK build, that's likely to be less noisy", and... um...

$ strings generated/testdir/test | wc
   3539    5144   33361

What IS "Scudo" anyway? (Not that static musl is much better...)

I'm open to suggestions. I can force the test suite to create a symlink (although for the standalone commands without a multiplexer that's a bit awkward), but the reason this is NOT just checking TEST_HOST=1 is the host could be toybox (mkroot!) and I want it to work there too, and "installing a bunch of hardlinks" was a popular option back in the busybox world...

(Another "the decision is hard because the stakes are so small" thing, I know...)
