Well more than pointless, a badly written test.
It makes sense now: On solaris 10 54 is already installed so it links 
and runs! But that means that actually the installed version of the 
library is tested, not the new one.

I disabled all tests with "SKIPTEST ?= 1", I do not know how to disable 
a single test.

Or should I try to find a way to patch and disable "letest" only? Sounds 
messy, however having perhaps at least some test is maybe better than no 
tests.
