That (with Roland's change) worked.

Oddly, when run in a glibc-2.3.2 chroot environment, the busybox 0.60.5
binary I compiled under an earlier toolset is misbehaving in a way that
interfered with running my glibc regression test shell script.
Its ash misinterprets
  export BLAH
as
  export
which makes setting environment variables hard.  A workaround (?) is to
compile busybox for debugging; for some reason, then export senses argc properly.
This sounds like a glibc bug that might not be caught by either the gcc or glibc testsuites,
or a bug in busybox that somehow worked with the earlier glibc,
or a bug in the script I use to set up a chroot environment.
Anyway, once I swapped in a -g build of busybox, the subset of the glibc testsuite I use passed
(or at least gave the same results as it did with ppc750/glibc-2.3.2
and {ppc405,ppc750}/glibc-2.2.5).

The exact patch I used is attached.

Thanks!
