I thought I had sent this yesterday, but I now see I haven't..

Duplicate test message.  Write something like:

  untested "failed to compile shared library 1"
  untested "failed to compile shared library 2"

Another example (though unlike the above, this case was already
duplicate):

    untested "failed to compile first test case"

    untested "failed to compile in-system-call test"


There are likely more instances in the patch.  Since you're now reusing the same
string on all tests, I think it should be easy to grep (+sort+uniq)
for "failed to compile" to catch them.  Could you do that?
