Yes, but AFAIK the Solaris test suites and the ksh93/AST test suites are
designed to do different things - the ksh93 tests were created to find
bugs which were hit once (to prevent that they ever surface again) while
the Solaris test suites are more designed to find violations of
standards... or am I wrong here ?

But would these test suites be part of which single build - and break
the build if a test failure occurs ?
