I should have inserted the following item in the TODO list above:

(3.5) I think that 'bash-4.4-linux-pgrp-pipe.patch', adapted to 5.0, should be
    applied to all 'bash' packages in 'core-updates'.  To be more precise,
    the patch should be applied to the main 'bash' package in bash.scm,
    inherited from all other bash packages, so that PGRP_PIPE is set
    unconditionally set on systems based on Linux (the kernel), regardless
    of the kernel version running on the build machine.

This change would also entail a full rebuild of core-updates, so it
should ideally be done before starting the rebuild.  It's not crucial,
but it would be nice to fix this potential source of non-determinism in
the Bash builds.

      Thanks,
        Mark
