The overall order of the tests should stay this way, I think.  Some
library could actually alter the result of a run test.  (Think about some
-lcompat or -lbsd getting in the way, not unlikely at all with snprintf.)
Instead we could run an empty test program before the real tests.  If an
empty program fails to run we can abort in good conscience.
