Yes, I did disable these few tests permanently upstream. NetBSD is a fragile

My philosophy are tests are for the packager.
E.g. I have a few compiler packages that have test capability. I run
the tests. Once I'm satisfied with the package state, the tests are off
by default. We already know the result of the test, retesting is
redundant work that doesn't buy you anything.
I'd like to see LO have the ability to *NOT* test per switch. Unless
the tests are part of the compilation process, they are a waste of time
in "production" mode.
IMHO, of course.
