I was rebuilding Fedora's autoconf rpm.

For reasons I don't know, they explicitly disable test 199 and run

make check TESTSUITEFLAGS='-198 200-'

An accompanying comment tells
"# 199: autotest.at  parallel autotest and signal handling
# In test/autotest.at, under comment "Test PIPE", the exit code written
# to file "status" is 0.  Report mailed to bug-autoconf."

Could be a historic artefact, I don't know.

This testsuite failure occurred as part of building a Fedora 14 
(rawhide) autoconf-rpm inside of a local mock (Fedora's front-end to set 
up chroots to build rpms) on Fedora 13.

I.e. I didn't change anything knowlingly to ignore SIGPIPE, but would 
not want to exclude mock or rpm/rpmbuild doing so.
