I have extensively argued before why I think the testsuite is completely

We can add testsuite makefile targets that only run the tests under
units, or even only for a specific directory under units.
Running the testsuite (even part of it) requires too much preparation
and takes too much time. It's also badly organized, you cannot easily
run a single test if you need
that.

The compiler testsuite is suitable for the compiler. I don't argue
there, it takes waiting while the compiler is invoked on all test
programs, this is
unavoidable. To make sure some change is not breaking something you must
run
all tests. You are used to it, so you see nothing wrong with it. That's
OK.
But this way of working is way too slow & cumbersome for me.
And you don't call this unix only docompile.sh not cumbersome with the
compiler parameters in some configuration file?
I definitely want to help to integrate the tests somehow in the daily
testrun, but I will not use the slow testsuite.
As said, this is one of the void arguments, on a modern CPU it takes <1 min.
