I don't think more configure scaffolding will help.

The crux of the matter is that "expected" is a moving feast.  What I 
"expect" for the old SuSE version on an sgi ia64 machine is different to 
what someone else "expects" for rawhide or OS X or FreeBSD or ...
I think the status quo is probably about the best we can do with the 
available workers, provided we're vigilante for cases where "expected" 
changes or is in someway unsatisfactory.
