The problem with the tests was that they are hard to run anything else
than Ubuntu (and perhaps Debian). It is hopefully now taken care of.
Selftests do not have to be perfect but at minimum they need to be
runnable.

I need ret-test the latest series because it is possible that I did not
have right flags (I was travelling few days thus have not done it yet).
