I wanted to run make check to see if the build was successful and i was happy to see that there are a lot of tests. I am not sure if i can expect to get an exit code 0 after that or if i just have to check the results if the failed tests really matter to me. But i was curious since it was only the one test which i would have expected to be skipped in the first place. > Overall it's a good question though and I'd like to understand more about why > they're running because it's certainly possible that they should be skipped > or that the test suite isn't detecting the build/host system properly. Please let me know if you need any further information. I am happy if i can help.
