In addition, dumping messages to /dev/tty is just plain wrong.

I run some nightly builds from cron, and redirect their stdout/stderr.

Recently I discovered that if I run the same build by hand, I get several error
messages in my terminal. I have *no clue* which commands they are coming from.
They are *not* useful.

(Now that I looked at __libc_message, I am going to set LIBC_FATAL_STDERR_ in
the environment to direct them back to stderr.)
