No:
$ eval foo=bar time true
-bash: time: command not found
But time must in fact be a builtin, because 'which time' doesn't find an
external time program, and 'eval ...' works if I delete 'foo=bar':
$ eval time true
real 0m0.001s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.000s
So foo=bar must somehow be confusing bash. Oh well, it's not a big
deal. I only wrote because I (wrongly) assumed that Build had been
changed in such a way that -g no longer worked. I can certainly work
around it if I ever want to achieve the same effect.
