Splendid! Scrutiny of the logging for 'build' tells me that the
following patch should suffice for a chrooted test run equivalent
to that of a non-privileged user during a non-chrooted test run.

Should somebody give me green light on the following patch,
I will have a go at pushing it. Although never used so far,
it seems I did get access to 'hydra-recipes' a few years
ago when we were struggling with a test suite in GNU Inetutils
and Hydra was not completely at ease with our efforts!

Best regards,
