I tried this on both Alpha and IA64. It even created a PCSI-kit.

but.,,,, Then I gave the following command in the [.source] directory:
$ MMK test

This resulted in 19 failed tests on Alpha and 20 on IA64 (see details 
below). Is this "normal" behaviour? and if so why are these tests not 
skipped like so many other tests?

On Alpha I get:

Failed 19 tests out of 2368, 99.20% okay.
