(Side question: the test suite is full with similar constructs, i.e.
redirecting file contents to stdin, but why not just use wc -l b.c,
i.e. let wc open the file?)

"wc -l <b.c" is the correct form for the purpose of these tests;
otherwise you will see the filename in the output, and you need to
somehow strip it if you are only interested in the line count.

Facepalm, that should have been obvious...
