I'm all for dynamic / and dynamic /bin/sh, but this doesn't even come
close to what I observed on my systems.  I see anywhere from 15% to 20%
slowdown in buildworld, depending on how bad my hardware already is.  I
posted my most recent numbers earlier.

It's difficult to get lots of these numbers, unfortunately, because it
takes a good 6-8 hours just to complete one build.  But the numbers are
fairly consistant across the different degrees of old crappy hardware I
have.
