I really don't see the point, especially now that 'make universe' will
issue a warning on stdout for every build that fails.  As I've tried to
explain to Alfred, the tinderbox does nothing magical, and nothing that
isn't already covered by 'make universe'.  I also asked him to discuss
any changes with Poul-Henning before committing them.

No, it doesn't.  You can check for yourself - the complete command line
and environment are included in the log file.  From the latest amd64
build:
