I think this confusion probably resulted from the move of certain things from contrib to src/test/modules, although that might be wrong. At any rate, just as contrib isn't built by 'make all', one could argue that src/test/modules shouldn't be built, either. Then again, if 'make check' depends on it, maybe it needs to be. Either way, 'make world' should certainly build it, I think. Interesting, 'make check-world' tried to compile test_shm_mq, so I caught the WaitLatch call there before committing. I guess it only did that because src/test/modules/test_shm_mq has a regression test, though. work_spi does not, so even though they're both under src/test/modules, one eventually got built and the other did not.
