Hmrph.

Suspect it's time I move this over to bugzie then :)
rough action I've been trying

mkdir /home/bharring/tmp /mnt/utmp
mount -t unionfs -o dirs=/home/bharring/tmp=rw:/=ro,delete=whiteout none 
/mnt/utmp
chroot /mnt/utmp
#within jump into any source and try compilation, segfaulting

Only difference in my mount options is the whiteout addition, which in 
poking in the directory after attempting it without the whiteout 
option (and having it work), looks to be creating whiteout files 
also...
