I wonder how many more examples like that we need before we impose
testing after install and not in tree...

Only consequence for the few who configure with --prefix=/usr from their
tree will be to change to --prefix=/some/user/dir so install doesn't
break the system if the tested compiler is not up to the task.

Benefit will be that we can get rid of some Makefile and script code
and we'll at last test what we ship and not a random subset of it.

Quick poll: who does configure for some system dir when doing
development?
