The pass-5 tests best simulate real usage. The pass-[1-4] tests are
tantamount to unit tests, which are easily (and I hope frequently) run
within unprivileged build sessions.

I suppose one could, but it's redundant. Chances are that any
systemtap binary that was installed will already have had the
build-time test suite run against it.
