That doesn't help us triage or fix up the problems people have, Ted. xfstests needs to run on lots of different distros - even ones that are years old - and so we need to understand and fix these problems, not work around them. Perhaps you could spend some time and send patches to document the build/installation procedure that you use so we can improve the process for everyone?
