Yeah, I knew about TEST_SHELL_PATH, but still:

  $ make -j4 TEST_SHELL_PATH=/bin/bash
  <...>
  $ cd t/
  $ for t in t[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-*.sh ; do "./$t" -x ; done >/dev/null 2>&1
  $ grep '^failed [^0]$' test-results/*.counts |wc -l
  44

The worst offender is t0008-ignores with 208 tests failing with '-x'...
I suspect a setup test fails for some reason, and (most of) the other
failed tests are just fallout; haven't dared to look yet :)
