That would be clearer, yes.

Fair enough, we just need to be clear about that.

The difference between that patch and the one proposed is that the one
above:

a) is unconditional
b) is clear and simple, it just deletes the tests

This means when the recipe is upgraded, the patch is obvious and
therefore straight forward to port.

Ideas:

Can we simplify the musl one to delete the tests in question?

Could we get a patch upstream which allowed us to disable tests from
the commandline to improve both cases? 

I think we should be able to work something out but I just wanted to
make it clear the patch as it stands isn't clear enough and will cause
maintenance issues so we need to work out something better.

Cheers,

Richard
