Some GNU packages (like GNU cpio) use autotest for their testsuite.
When I'm compiling such a package on a not-so-common platform, and one
of the tests fails, it makes it very hard to investigate the test failure.
The steps to investigate a test failure typically are:

I still don't see the advantage of requiring a make testsuite step.
