This one appears to be sensitive to the -march switch and/or -O opt level
used:

-march=i486 -O2     OK
-march=i686 -O3     FAIL
-march=native -O3   OK (equivalent to k8 on this box)

These 2 are triggered by -O3 opt level. They appear relatively minor. I've
posted a patch here:

This one is due to missing /bin/echo essential symlink. It was very obvious
once I straced it. The test unsets PATH on purpose which means `echo' is not
found in $TT_PFX/bin.
