When you want to compare the behaviour of a test with an old and new C
library, or with multiple C library build trees with different changes
applied to each.

(Sure, the former is obscure becaue the old C library would hopefully
have passed the tests, but I've done the latter a few times. It's hardly
killingly useful, though, because multiple build trees are going to have
multiple copies of the test programs in them as well. On balance, I
agree, this option should be on by default.)
