So how are we supposed to handle packages where upstream *require*
that anyone building from source runs 'make check'?
If it's required to get the final binaries, then it should be in
src_compile.
I don't know any package that does require such a thing, but IMHO it
should be a QA warning if a build system writes anything to ${D}
during src_test. (could sandbox be tweaked to do that?)
A whole bunch of science packages have upstreams that say "If you're
building from source, run 'make check' and if it fails don't carry on".
Their rationale behind that is that their code is severely broken, using
experimental features from their language of choice or, simply, that
they are paranoid and couldn't think better ways to annoy people?
For that matter, I'm strongly inclined to say that for Paludis too...
Getting the build time from 30minutes to an hour or more?
