Though I notice that rsync does some strange business to figure out
the right args for getpeername() in configure.sh, and fakechroot seems
to have it's own version of getpeername, et. al. so it's probably that
getpeername from fakechroot uses different args than the system
getpeername.

And now I'm curious, so I'll poke around some more while the kids play
Lego Indiana Jones.
