0.8.8.25:

	More SB-POSIX test fixes
	... allow building as root again, since it seems that's a
		desired feature
	... test for not having EUID of 0 in EACCES posix tests instead

	(this will probably annoy antifuchs, but I forgot to commit
	version.lisp-expr for the last fix.  Since this is logically a
	simple continuation, I haven't bothered to increment it again)

     should matter to you only if you rebind the printer control
     variables and then find you want different bindings in the 
     debugger than in the ordinary execution of your program.)
-  * minor incompatible change: the system no longer allows itself to
-    be built as root.  This is primarily to allow the SB-POSIX contrib
-    module's test suite to assume that it is being run as an ordinary
-    user, with the attendant filesystem permissions semantics that
-    entails.
   * The runtime build system has been tweaked to support building
     (on SPARC/SunOS) using a C compiler which invokes Sun's own
     assembler and linker.  (thanks to Nikodemus Siivola)
