Catching the exit status is difficult from make in this line
(buildit.sh, 146):

  (make $target 9>&1 1>&2 2>&9 | tee $makeerrlog) > $makelog 2>&1

Previously, they died when trying to gobble memory. Something has
changed. I'll get down to debugging them immediately:

As it turns out, test_import baloons the python interpreter from ~12MB
of RAM to ~42MB on fafner. corresponding manuever on linux-intel gives
only a modest increase. Needless to say, the general bloating makes
the interpreter hit the ulimit a bit later (config.fafner):

  ulimit -d 65000
  ulimit -s 8192
  ulimit -t 1000
  ulimit -v 65000

Unfortunately, regrtest -v on test_import doesn't give any extra
debugging output.
