Sure, but it's the difference between all of the libc functions you use
and none of them, not what you use from libc and what you don't.

It is.  Just comment out the goto as a quick fix.

There are a few cases like this that prevent a minimally-configured
bash from building.  In this case, it's that there is a `goto pop_alias'
