Hrm, you shouldn't need to change compilation options, ever. The
suite /should/ test relevant features and skip tests that are
irrelevant. If you find a case that doesn't then please give details

Are you running the mysql test suite as user root? We discourage
running anything as root, so it's probably not tested very well. I
would expect a better error message, though, if it always fails.

http://coolsurf.com/mysql-test-log/bootstrap.log
gives HTTP error 500, fwiw.

"./mtr" is how I usually run it. I add "--mem" if I'm in a hurry and
have plenty of free RAM.
