The usual ‘make check’ should cover all the required testing, you might
need to use ‘run-built-tests=yes’ additional directive if you are
cross-compiling to force the make to issues the built tests (for instance
on architecture that support multiple ABI, like x86, or to force the
use of some emulation like qemu-user).

We are still fixing up some clunky tests and there are some broken 
environment (for instance broken syscall filtering) where some tests
might advertise a failure.
