Hmm.. that is a pity, I though we had more or less nailed darwin by now =(O|

I'm not sure what you mean by `a protocol'.  You can run the individual tests 
in verbose mode with:

    $ VERBOSE=1 make check TESTS='demo-shared demo-make demo-exec demo-inst'

(Actually, that is not entirely true since some tests rely on other and need 
to be run in groups -- they will tell you if you try ti run them without the 
necessary prerequisites).

Alternatively, you can run the test sctripts stand-alone from the tests 
directory:

    $ VERBOSE=1 ./demo-shared

Beyond that, you can perform the configuration from the test-suite and then 
change into the appropriate demo directory and debug from there:

    $ cd tests && ./demo-shared
    $ cd demo
    $ make
    $ ../libtool --mode=exec gdb ./hell

Hope that helps!

Cheers,
        Gary.
