Thanks for the explanation Thiago. I see I indeed understood it correctly when 
Alex posted the points.  So my objection stands.
I even have 2.4.5 on my machine, jonathan has a amd64 deb for edgy on his

Perhaps you should try out my unsercmake which makes it easy to compile tests 
or not run tests using its --exclude parameter. ;)
