Yeah, well it is intentional, although I suppose you could argue it isn’t
correct.  Think of it this way: I think each version of Java comes with a
compiler and some libraries, right?  Do the Java compiler folks run tests
where they compile the libraries?  The library developers must run tests
that require compilation.

We have the same situation.  I did not study how Java or Google Closure
does it.  If folks have learned from experience that the compiler folks
shouldn’t have tests in the main target that compile the library, then
maybe we shouldn’t either.
