of the build stages that are sent through a pipe (e.g. tee) failed.
This potentially allowed builds and/or tests to fail without anyone
noticing. It appears that for the LLVM 3.6.[01] releases this actually
happened for the Ubuntu 14.04LTS binary releases. The essence of the
issue is that without ``set -o pipefail`` the following command in bash
has a zero exit code.
false | tee /dev/null ; exit $?
