Hi Viktor,
- I believe the "test spaces" part is important and would need to be fixed,
if spaces break this is not desirable.
- For the Relocations part, I'm happy to offer guidance and help for anyone
who wants to take a stab at it, right
now I'm not in a position where I could take this on myself, I'm afraid.
Cheers,
Moritz

FWIW, the tests seem to fail for two reasons:
1. The "install dir" and "test space" directories don't appear to be handled correctly. I had to drop the spaces.
2. On FreeBSD many tests run into the dreaded:
unhandled ELF relocation(RelA) type 19
Can anyone versed in Elf internals help with:
