The assumption at the time was anybody who cared enough to run the testsuite
and provide feedback would probably be the kind of person to already have
bash installed.  :-)

Did you see the warning about "guessing how to extract section sizes"?
Every platform has different arguments to size(1).  If we don't know how
to use size(1) for a given platform, we guess.

In retrospect, if we don't know how to use size(1), we should just skip
the section testing.
