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:
