Re: [PATCH v3 01/19] Avoid race conditions when rebuilding librt.so

I guess "race condition" isn't quite the right term: the non-determinism comes from the ordering by which make decides to re-build targets during a "make check" that occurs after a GCC "make install". I ended up running into a handful of other problems along these lines, so instead it seems like the sane thing to do is to just "make && make check" in glibc instead.

I'll drop this patch.
