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.
